A member asked:
Help can asthma pumps make you put on weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Your concern is probably about the inhaler steroids used as a controller. These cortisone derivatives are designed to have very little absorption into your blood steam. The issue of weight gain is more associated with oral or injectable "cortisones" rather than the inhaled types.
