Hi

You have mentioned about taking the pill previously.In case you have taken Femodene before and had severe side effects and thinking of restarting the drug again,you can start with another combined pill.

Newer drug may be more acceptable and can cause reduced side effects.But only after starting the drug and watching for the pattern of side effects can help in further assessment.

The cause of inability to gain weight should be identified.Nutritional deficiency,Chronic infections,Malabsorption syndromes,Parasitic infestations, Hyperthyroidism should be ruled out.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards
