A member asked:
Will immunosuppressive drugs cause weight gain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prednisone does: Prednisone does cause weight gain, along with other side effects. The doctor who is prescribing the immunosuppressives can list the medication options for a patient, and also list the more common side effects. Then, both the patient and doctor are aware of what to expect when some of the medications are used.
