General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello. Thanks for asking Healthcare Magic. Practin contains Cyproheptadine, it is most commonly used to promote appetite. Decdan contains dexametasone which is a steroid. I would suggest to stop taking decdan as it can weaken your immunity and result in various other side effects. You can continue with practin tablet. i hope this clears your query. Thanks and regards.
