Hello there,
Apetimin is a concoction of vitamins in a syrup form. You can go ahead and have it . Since your disorder is very rare and still undiagnosed we have to try our options one by one and see what suits you best. A better alternate will be having iron tablets and folate, as having iron supplements alongwith folate has a stimulatory effect on appetite.

Hope this helps,
Please feel free to address any further queries to me,
