Can flovent cause weight gain?

Possibly : but it is unlikely. It is a steroid and all steroids can cause weight gain

No, it should not: Flovent is an inhaled steroid that helps the lungs get well (from problems such as asthma). It should not cause weight gain. If there is noticeable weight gain, the primary care doctor can evaluate to look for other reasons for gaining the weight.
