    There's nothing in the manufacturer's info to indicate it puts on weight.   Have you talked to your doctor about this?

    Hi nellebelle

    I presume this is an inhaling substance.

    Do you know whether this one is a steriod inhaler, as any steroid medicine can make you put on weight.

    At the end of the day, and you have a good relationship with your doctor, speak to them about your worries and see if they can put you on another inhaler.

    Best of luck
