Suggest Remedy For Sudden Weight Gain
I ve been on ProAir and also began using Dulera 2x daily for 4 weeks. Since I can breathe better, I now ride my bicycle 8 miles a couple of times a week. My diet has not changed, but I ve gained 10 pounds! I noticed that many other people are mentioning this weight gain problem since they began Dulera. What can be done about it?

Hello and thanks for your question. Dulera does contain a steroid medication, but because it is inhaled, side effects like weight gain are not that common. The best ways to lose the weight are to exercise every day for at least 30 minutes and to eat a healthy diet that is low in carbohydrates. Try decreasing the portion size of your foods and avoid all sugary drinks and sweets. Good luck to you on the weight loss.
