Don't listen to them: I think you are talking about the steroids used in asthma treatment. This steroids are like cortisone and long term ORAL or INJECTED use can casue this problem. However, the inhaled steroids have little or no effect on weight gain (most of it is not absorbed into your blood stream but stays in your lungs. If you r physician feels you need this type of therapy- please listen to him/her. Good luck
