Which class of drugs is commonly associated with weight gain?

  1. Antipsychotics

  2. ACE inhibitors

  3. Beta-blockers

  4. Antivirals

The correct answer is: Antipsychotics

Antipsychotics are commonly associated with weight gain due to their mechanism of action on various neurotransmitter receptors in the brain, such as dopamine and serotonin. This can lead to increased appetite and decreased metabolism, ultimately resulting in weight gain. ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and antivirals are not typically associated with weight gain as a common side effect.
