Brief Answer:
Yes it does.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I understand your concern.
Wysolone contains Prednisolone. This drug can cause facial swelling and weight gain. It actually causes fluid retention and so facial swelling.
I hope it helps.
If you have any further query, please ask me.

Brief Answer:
If stopped soon.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
If Wysolone is used only for small period say for a week or two this all will get back to normal within a few weeks.
But if the steroids are continued for long then it would be difficult to reverse the weight gain easily.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
