Hiya
I consulted my doctor and she said it could be the cause of my weight gain as im on a high dose so ive been dropped to a lower dose to see if this helps, go back in 8 weeks to get weighed to see it this has made a difference, hope so!

Hello,
Clenil contains beclomethasone which is an anti inflammatory corticosteroid. It has many side effects like allergic reaction, loss of taste or smell; nosebleeds or soreness; pounding in the chest or unusual weight gain, especially in the face. So you should use it with caution.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

No, according to a number of sites the side-effects are the opposite; nausea, loss of appetite, and weight-loss.
