How To Get Rid Of Itching All Over The Body?
I am 20 years old boy.. I am taking decdan & practin tablets since I joined a Gym. I continued taking those tablets for 3 months on alternate days. and I could gain my weight upto 7-8 kgs....but during consumption of these tablets my skin color started becoming dark and looked oily also. So I quit taking those tablets. but now, after 2 months I am facing side-effects like- itching all over my body especially my fingers and legs...Plz give some advise to overcome this problem.

Never take this medicines to gain weight bcyz of severe side effects on body.dexamethsone and cyproheptadine both increase our appetite but do have many side effects on skin,liver,kidneys and heart.
Its good that u yourself stopped this.
now your itching part.. U can take antihistamines but first u undergo liver function tests bcuz I have seen many patients who develops jaundice after oral steroids.
Immediately go to your physician.
