Can a person gain weight on Accupril?

I have a friend who is on ACCUPRIL, and he wonders if his weight gain could be because of this medication. Me myself have lost weight since being put on CRESTOR for hi cholesterol and PROPRANOLOL for hi B/P

If the Accupril has caused a significant drop in your friend's activity level, then if your friend did not also eat less, weight gain could be expected.

And even at the same level of exercise and food input, a lower blood pressure means the heart uses fewer calories means weight gain.
