Is cortisol medicine is safe or not? my friend have to take a medicine that contains cortisol and he is pretty much scared to be fat should he?

If he's on it a long: time,he will gain weight,unquestionably,but it depends on dose and how long he is on it. If its a very small dose,he may not gain much weight,but if its a big dose,he will definitely gain significant weight.
