Suggest Any Medicine Apart From Ciplactin And Dexona For Uneasiness And To Develop Food Desire
Question: sir, 2 years back my weight was 48 kg and now it is 62 kg. some one suggested me to take ciplactin and dexona twice a day initially then once a day. i took this for 3 months and then stop it . the most important thing is not only i gain weight but it helped a lot to overcome my uneasyness which use to be for the whole day. now i have again started taking ciplactin and dexona one tablet once a day. it helps me in removing my uneasyness and also helpful in developing food intake desire.
if i dont take it i dont have food desire or less desire and uneasyness for the whole day. iam 35 years old. can i start taking it alternately for long time ?can u please advice me the side effects of it ? or anyother medicine to remove my uneasyness and to develope the food desire.
Brief Answer:
Stop Dexona.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
I read your complete problem.
You are in a wrong trap!!
Dexona is a steroid , which causes weight gain , but AS A SIDE EFFECT of it.
It is a wonder drug in life threatening conditions , but can be life threatening if taken this way.
Dexona is commonly used to increase appetite , weight gain , body building.
It has a long list of side effects when used chronically. Important one are :
Acne , hirusitism , osteoporosis , diabetes , hypertension , gastritis....and a long list.
Once you start taking it , soon , you suppress your adrenal glands , which normally makes steroid for your body requirements. Now , when you stop taking it , your adrenals are still suppressed , and your body doesn't get any steroids , and when you take it again , you get a kick...
Not at all , it is an acceptable way out for weight gain and your anxiety problems.
Your food pipe irritation is due to dexona only , and it will soon cause ulcers in your stomach.
In fact , your throat infection problem will get aggravated by dexona , as it causes immuno-suppression and makes you prone to infection.
Ciplactin is a much safer alternative to increase appetite and weight , but that should be used in short - term only.
I suggest you to stop this experiment on your body immediately , else you will be in a big problem with in few years.
Don't search more on net , trust me stop it now.
i hope i am able to solve your query , still if you have any query , please ask me.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
I am glad. You have decided not to take those medications.
For Acidity and Reflux , I would start you on Rabeprazole 20 mg once in evening and a combination of Rabeprazole and domperidone once in morning.
Take Soft , bland diet.
Don't consume alcohol , spicy food.
Don't Smoke.
Discuss with your doctor about my opinion , I am sure he will agree.
In case your problem persists after 1 month of treatment you may get an endoscopy done and subsequently treatment of H.pylori infection , if required.
Do exercise , adopt healthy living.
You may consider meeting a psychologist for behavioural therapies for anxiety problems.
If you don't have any further query please close the discussion and rate it.
