The absorption of any medication can be altered by the way it is administered; in your case, you switched to a treatment that increases the availability of the substance to your whole body, so, maybe you should talk to your doctor about adjusting the dose. Also, we have to consider if the weight gain is based on water retention, body fat or muscle gain; the first two would be the most likely with your current treatment, but if you've been exercising, take it into account. Talk to your doctor.
