Hello and welcome to HCM.
About the four medications you asked and their relation to weight
Spiriva :have been repoted to cause weight loss
Advair : since it is taken in via inhalation, no systemic side effects unless overdosed.
atorvastatin : weight loss/weight gain not reported
triazide : weight gain is a rare side effect not usually complained
I hope it helped. All the best with your weight loss endeavor
