A member asked:
Hi does seretitide cause weight gain. i heard it causes large amounts due to the cortizone (hydrocortisone) and steroids in it ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normallyl no: In adults, the available doses of corticosteroid in seretide should not cause weight gain. It has been however seen in younger children due to the dose and lesser body mass.
