What Causes Loss Of Appetite After Discontinuing Perfect Capsules?

Posted on Wed, 10 Jun 2015

Question: Hi, One of my causins have eaten Perfect capsules by XXXXXXX Pharmacy for near about six years. For the last 7-8 months she has left the practice. While she was taking those medicines, her food intake had grown a lot and she had good health also. But after leaving the capsule, she has lost almost 6kg weight. Recently I consulted my family doctor and took blood tests starting from CBC to Blood Sugar, Plasma Glucose and tests for Kidney functionality. Everything is fine. So can someone please tell me if she is going to face any other side effect due to this medicine in future? Or should I take some other tests for her. Right now she is taking some appetite increasing tonic as suggested by our doctor. So can you please inform me what side effect free ayurveda medicine she can take for increasing weight. She also has asthma and often suffer from cold and flue due to allergies. She is 5.4" in height and weighs 51 kg now. Kindly answer.
