No multivitamin centrum does not cause weight gain.It contains all the vitamins and minerals needed for proper growth and functioning of body.So you can take it without any tension of weight gain but this centrum tablet contains tartarazine which can cause allergic reaction,just watch for it although it is very rare.
Next Steps
If allergy reaction occurs stop the multivitamin immediately then keep levocetrizine tablet ready near you
Health Tips
U can take this multivitamin without any risk of weight gain
