Does Diprospan Cause Weight Gain?

So, I was thinking about getting the shot diprospan for my allergies. My friends husband takes it every 3or 4 months and works very well for him. But now I m scared. I m already overweight & I was reading a question of another person gaining weight. So my question is... if I get the shot more than likely I WILL gain weight?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Injectable Diprospan is a corticosteroid. It usually leaves the body in 48 hours after a single dose. A single dose is not likely to cause side effects like weight gain or high blood presssure. These side effects are seen on taking for at least 2-3 weeks continuously. So, you may take it as prescribed by your doctor for the treatment of allergic conditions.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
