Hi Padmaja,



Wysolone (prednisolone) is a steroid, and one of the side effects of this medicine is weight gain. Other side effects of this medicine include high BP, high sugars, increased infection, acne or pimples, weakness of bones (osteoporosis), etc.



I hope you have stopped wysolone now.



Please get back if you require any additional information.



Best wishes,
