Can fostair really make you put weight on

I have recently been put on fostair and am worried of putting anymore weight on. It seems to be of benefit to me after only nearly a couple of weeks but if I'm going to put weight on I'd rather go back to symbicory which wasn't much different.

Hi

I’ve bern on both fostair and symbicort and neither affected my weight it was only it’s steroids that did this 😊 I actually found my asthma is the best it can be on fostair. Hope this helps ease your concerns a little x

Thankyou that really helps put me at ease. I find my asthma is better on fostair so it would be a shame to go back on sybmbicort just because of weight gain.XX
