I am using the practin tablet in 8month, then my weight are normal so i quite, But after 6month decrease my weight, How to constant of weight ## Because the weight gain is a side effect of the medication and such side effects wear off, after you stop taking it. That is generally why doctors won't prescribe them as the first option, when someone is underweight, they know it is not a permanent fix. Have you tried consulting your doctor to see if they are proper and safer ways for you to gain weight?

I've been on Dexona and Practin 4mg for 5 years with continuous side effects. I used to be lean. One of my friends suggested it, who has used it for 2 months and stopped and he has some skin problems. If i stop taking it for one day i start facing some problems. What would be the side effects for me if i stop using this at this point? Also, what are the tests i need to take? Currently I experience laziness, a headache sometimes, hypertension, and i feel very tense when it comes to small issues. ## Have you discussed it with a doctor?

Use of practin and dacdanfor weight gain is safe Health? ## No, actually using them for that is not safe. Periactin contains the active ingredient Cyproheptadine, it is actually an antihistamine that is most commonly used to treat allergic reactions. In some people, it can cause an increased appetite and thus, weight gain. Decdan contains Dexamethasone, which is actually a steroid class medication, it is also used to treat allergic reactions and some other medical conditions. As side effects it can cause immune suppression, weight gain and fluid retention. With improper use, both the immune suppression and the fluid retention can put you in serious medical danger. Have you tried consulting a doctor about healthy ways to gain weight?

can i use decdan and practin for 2 month without any side effect ## Sir...this medicin have side effect??? ## All medications carry the risk of causing side effects, Decdan contains a steroid class medication called Dexamethasone, and Practin contains Cyproheptadine. The NIH lists possible side effects as including nausea, dizziness, headache, acne, extreme weight gain, fluid retention, insomnia, nervousness, and irritability. No, they should not be given to a child, unless a doctor has prescribed it for them, it could cause dangerous issues, including developmental problems. Is there anything else I can help with?
