Question: I am 33 and I weigh around 57 kgs, I would like gain at-least another 7-9 kgs. I play daily squash in the morning for an hour so have some physical activity. My appetite is on a lower side with high metabolism which causes difficulty in weight gain. Is it wise to have cypon ? if yes what should be the dose and any additional medicines.

Brief Answer:
TAKE CYPON AND MULTIVITAMINS

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.

I understand your concern.
You have not mentioned your height. So your body mass index cannot be properly calculated. Anyways, taking it as average, yes you can gain about 5-10kgs. But let me tell you, in some people even if they eat a lot, they dont gain weight. Similarly some people remain overweight though they keep trying to lose weight. It is due to their individual inborn metabolism. The only thing to keep in mind is whether the over or underweight is causing them health problems. If one is healthy, one should not care much.
Anyways you have asked about cypon. Yes, it is indicated for decreased appetite. If you take capsules, take one capsule twice daily. Or you can take syrup 2 tsf twice daily. If you dont have heart problems or chronic lung disease, you can take it without worry. Also take multivitamin syrup like zincovit or a2z once daily. Exercise regularly as you are doing. Have a healthy and balanced diet.
Consult your doctor for prescription of the above.

Hope this was helpful.

Hello Doc,

Thanks a lot for your reply. My bad that I did not mention my height, it is 176 cm
I will surely visit a doc for above mentioned prescription. As you rightly pointed, I have a metabolism which makes weight gain a difficult task. Is there any other supplements I can take which can help me gain weight while I am excersing.

you can gain 6-8kgs to have perfect weight

Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
Your BMI comes just in the normal range but you can gain 6-8kgs to have a perfect weight according to your height and age. You start as i advised before. Also you can consult a dietitian for a diet chart which you can follow. Dont take other available supplements now as they might have side effects and better to be avoided.

Wish you good health.
