Weight gain

Hi guys

From the following drugs I’m on, is there any of them that people know cause weight gain?

I have had a MAJOR continual weight gain since March when I came out of hospital.

I feel like I’m going crazy. I’m not eating any differently or any more than I ever did, yet I’ve ballooned.

Please help. It’s making me very down.

Fostair

Spiriva

Azythromycin

Omeprazole

Thank you x x

Fostair is a steriod, for which you should have been given a steroid card to show to any doctors or dentist or nurses that see you. Steroids are known to bloat.

Yeah I know. But prior to fostair I was on becotide for twenty odd years then in later years seretide, with no weight gain. I just wondered maybe if I was missing something. As this is so strange. X
