Hi,

Peritol Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called antihistamines. It is used in the treatment of various allergic conditions. It relieves symptoms like itching, swelling and rashes. It is also used to treat loss of appetite (need for food). I would suggest you to undergo some tests to reveal the underlying condition of your body not gaining weight.

I would suggest Hba1c and thyroid profile to rule out diabetes and hyperthyroidism as these can lead to weight loss.You can also try some protein supplements and eat foods rich in starch such as potato and rice. Avoid stress as this can also lead to the body not gaining weight.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
