Message: <blockquote data-quote="zand" data-source="post: 985772" data-attributes="member: 85197">I believe that the preventative inhaler you use contains steroids.  Steroids are known to increase weight, however when they are in inhaler form (rather than tablets) there is usually less of a problem.  I don't have a brown inhaler myself but my son does.  He is fine with it but the steroid tablets made him gain weight very quickly.I would think  the cause is the inhaler and you are one of the unlucky ones.  I would certainly speak to your nurse about it as there maybe a different brown inhaler which doesn't affect you in this way.</blockquote>
