Hi,
Every person is thin or fat according to the constitution. Still you want to increase it & have started with Ciplactin & dexona pills.
Out of these-
* ciplactin ,though primarily an anti allergic drug- has a weight gain effect too. It acts by increasing appetite &food intake. It is comparitively safe when taken for a long time till the desirable effect is acheived.
* the Dexona is a steroidal drug(hormone) having good effect in certain conditions. It is usually given in a short ,tappering dose.
When given over a longer span, it has many hazardus side effects like- Weight gain(due to water rete, puffiness of face,muscle westing)- so the weight gain here is apperent ,with weakness of muscles.
SO I WOULD ADVICE YOU TO STOP DEXONA
* Insted few life style changeswould favour weight gain with well devoloped muscles &strength,vigor, &vitality. Viz-
*Have a protein rich diet,with lot of fresh vegetables,fruits,
You can enjoy sweets too.
* have moerate exercises to increase appetite, enhance digestion,be enthusiastic, &gain weight.

* Have a calm sleep 1 hr in afternoon/8 hrs in night. Be happy ,satisfied with what you have,& positive . For this you can adapt the art of meditation
A bit of fat deposition & lot of enthusiasum towards life would definately help you to reach your goal.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Ciplactine is cyproheptadine and it is appetite stimulant ( appetizer).
This will boost your appetite.
DEXONA ??? this will cause fluid retention in body if uses for long time.
So due to fluid retention naturally weight will increase.
Dexona also causes renal failure and osteoporosis , if uses for long time.
Now it is up to you , what is best for you.
Good luck.
Dr. HET
