How long does the average hormone pill take to make you fat?

There are many types of hormones, and hormones that can easily cause obesity are mainly adrenocorticotropic hormone, as well as estrogen, progesterone, growth hormone, etc. Usually the time of obesity is positively correlated with the amount of hormone used and the time of use, if the hormone is used in smaller amounts, the short term will generally not make people fat, such as prednisone, if the dose used is smaller, it will not generally make people obese. If a larger dose is used and the patient continues to use it for 1-2 months, he or she may gain weight, and if a larger dose of prednisone is used, the time to gain weight will be earlier. Hormonal drug-induced obesity is different from ordinary human obesity, mainly manifested as full-moon face, buffalo back, hanging abdomen, as well as increased fat deposits in the supraclavicular fossa, while the limbs are relatively thin and small. Some patients also have elevated blood pressure, abnormal protein metabolism, manifested as thin skin, can see the capillaries under the skin. Because corticosteroid is a very strong glucagon, so patients with abnormal glucose metabolism may develop secondary diabetes mellitus, as well as skeletal abnormalities, such as osteoporosis, bone pain, etc. The hematopoietic system is mainly manifested as neutrophilia, as well as lymphocytes, eosinophils, some patients may also develop peptic ulcers, as well as psychiatric symptoms, such as anxiety, insomnia and so on. Although many side effects may occur during the process of taking hormones, it is important to take the medication as prescribed by the doctor, and not to stop the medication on your own, because after suddenly stopping the medication, the patient may experience symptoms such as fatigue and exhaustion, and even aggravate the original condition. You can wait for the condition to improve, under the guidance of the doctor to gradually reduce the drug, in order to alleviate the hormone drugs caused by obesity and other side effects.
