Does Spriva Cause Weight Gain

I am noticing a weight gain since I have been on spriva. I have also been given symbicort and am concerned about weight gain with it also. Is there any thing I can take for stage 2copd that isn't going to make me gain weight.

Hello, Sue! How are you? I am very sorry about the weight gain, I know that is very frustrating.

Unfortunately, it's a side effect of almost all of these types of medications, usually due to the steroids used in them and, sometimes, the antihistamines.

Do you make sure to get as much exercise as you can?

Have you discussed the issue with your doctor? They may have other ideas that could help.
