Sudden weight gain
Few months ago, due to dehydration reasons, I was injected with sigma calvit which I later realized after about half of the iv fluid went into my body that it was expired. The doctor as a precaution then injected me with cort-s injection. My weight has always been under 48 kgs no matter how much I eat. I checked my weight 2 months after being injected with the medicines stated above and my weight has gone up by 10 kgs (it is 57.5 kgs). Is this a side effect of the above medicines? And if so, how long will the side effects last?

It is significant weight gain , drugs can’t cause such sudden weight gain. Show it to endocrinologist. There may be some hormonal problem.

Steroids do cause weight gain but only when taken on a very long term. Single medicine can not cause weight gain.
Although other causes of weight gain need to be discussed.
