Hello,
Very unlikely. Formonide does contain a steroid. It also contains a bronchodilator.
Although steroids can cause weight gain, when they are inhaled as Foracort is, the risk of side effects like that or ant shoulder numbness are pretty rare.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
