A member asked:
29 year old daughter got steroid shot for sinusitis, currently using flonase spray. could one shot and the daily steroid use cause an 8 lb wt gain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Steroids: The shot will make her gain weight, not the flonase. She should see an allergist and manage her sinuses better to avoid side effects from systemic steroids. She should decline receive them from now on.
