A member asked:
Hi - i was just prescribed methylprednisolone for my allergy flare-up - question is for a 6 day dose - should i be considered about weight gain?

No: A 6-day flare isn't long enough to cause that kind of side-effect. Get better soon!

Nah.: Anything is possible (& it depends on your dose), but 6 days is awfully short. If you're weighing yourself every day, you may see your weight go up temporarily due to a little fluid retention but it will go right back down again after you finish. It may make you hungry but how much damage can you do in a few days? Just be careful and try to regulate your calories.
