Brief Answer:
Weight gain

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
There are many food supplements in the market to gain weight .They are not under FDA ( Food and Drug Administration) and available over the counter.
One of them is 'Endura Mass' . It contains Soya protein.You'll gain weight if you do regular exercise (resistance training) & eat adequately in addition to food supplement.
Also go for blood sugar (fasting and post- prandial) and Thyroid function tests (Serum T3,T4 & TSH) to rule out common endocrine cause,if you are losing weight at the firsthand;otherwise it won't work in presence of Diabetes or Hyperthyroidism.
As such there is no pill to gain weight.There are pills to stimulate appetite e.g. Cyproheptadine but it is a prescription drug.

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

Cyproheptadine (4 mg) can be taken for appetite improvement.
Of all drugs ,however Marijuana, administered as cigarettes or as a synthetic oral cannabinoid (dronabinol), has proven appetite-promoting effects in AIDS patients.
Marijuana, is thought to have a number of clinically useful medicinal properties.

Consult your doctor.

Hope it helps.
