Could abusing a steroid inhaler cause me to gain weight?

Asked By: Clifffhanger 18-21, M 5 months ago

It's the purple one you take to strengthen your lungs to prevent future attacks. I have more purple inhalers than I actually need so if I start doing this will I gain weight?

Is This A Good Question? (1)

Yes but would take an awful lot of puffs plus you would probably end up with oral thrush and cause damage to your bronchial tubes and lungs.

You should really borrow my genes, if you want to build muscle. But, since you can't.... You know... a better way of bulking up would be lifting weights, and not hitting the treadmill or running, because it won't help much. Also, eat more protein, as in chicken, pork, beef, etc.

don't forget that abusing any steroids will also make your winky shrink.
