My son weight 89 pounds no appetite and he's paralyzed from the waist down so the pills will work for him ## Hello, Janice! How are you?

Is Periactin safe to increase weight? Is that effect permanent weight gain or only as long as i take it? ## Periactin, which contains the active ingredient Cyproheptadine is an antihistamine, normally used to treat allergies. And, just like any medication, it does have risks and side effects, so no, just using it in attempt to gain weight is not considered safe. It can cause an increased appetite in some people, which sometimes causes them to gain some weight, however, it is usually not significant and the effects don't continue, when someone stops the medication. In addition, any method of gaining weight artificially, that doesn't involve a healthy diet and exercise can have severe detrimental effects on your health. Are there any other questions? ## Thanks for the info Verwon....

What kind of appetite pill can I take without getting a UTI?

I just want enough info. ## Hello Molly, Unfortunately there is a strong association between weight loss pills and urinary track infections. The reason for this is two pronged, the first being that the diet pills that decrease appetite also decreases your desire to drink. This often leads to dehydration and less frequent urination which means that the bacteria is not being flushed out frequently enough. This can ultimately lead to a UTI. The second factor at play is that most weight loss pills contain caffeine which can cause more frequent urinatio...
