No, it typically does not cause weight gain because the dose is very small and targeted directly to your lungs. Hope you feel better soon.

As a diabetic, I have to be very careful with steroid medications as they can spike blood sugar, which in turn affects weight. With Wixela, my sugar levels remained stable, meaning it didn't affect my metabolism or cause weight gain.
