I was very lean and thin then i used practin and Decdan which made me feel little fat so, can it hurt me or not, plz help! ## That is actually something that you will need to discuss with your doctor. No one over the internet can possibly know your medical history or how this drug affects you, as well as the benefits or disadvantages that it provides you. I don't know enough about your total lifestyle to comment on what you need to do in order to improve. I suppose you have to ask yourself: Has my diet changed in any way since I've started taking these medications? I am getting enough sleep? Did I live an active lifestyle prior to taking these pills? Do I still live an active lifestyle? Am I now spending less time in a positive frame of mind? Or am I stressed out most of the day...

Is practin a steroid? I found a vile & syringes in my ex husbands stuff. He is not under weight so I'm wondering why he would be taking it. ## Hello, Jenn! How are you? No, Practin contains the active ingredient Cyproheptadine, which is an antihistamine, however, I can't speak to what your ex-husband may have thought it did and/or what he might have been using it for….

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?
