Question about corticosteroids.

[pb9123]

Can any one here explain how corticosteroids causes weight gain?

If this is a new symptom or a worsening of your current condition, you need to see your physician and discuss it with them.

Other than that, medical advice is not given on these forums.

no personal medical advice. Talk to your physician and/or pharmacist.

Ok, well can you tell me if corticosteroids can cause weight gain? That's not personal medical advice, It's a pharmacology question.

If those links didn't answer your question, than I don't think anyone here can help you. The answer is there in black and white....

Are you talking about induced Cushing's?
