What kind of appetite pill can I take without getting a UTI? When I take the jamaican peritol pills I get a UTI. ## How long can it take to notice changes in weight while taking Peritol (cyproheptadine)? And how many are you supposed to take? 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...

According to some medical information referenced from nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002617.htm, activated charcoal may be used in the case of a Cyproheptadine overdose.

Your friend should consult their doctor. Side effects shouldn't be permanent, but only a doctor can determine if it's solely due to their taking the medication.

I have been taking this for about 5 months now and I love it. I have always been small, around 105 pounds. I am at 129 now and loving it. It has increased my breast, and my butt and legs. Be careful because it will (the weight) will go to other places like your arms and stomach. Once you first start taking it, my experience is that it will make you SO Sleepy but once your body gets use to it the sleep will wear off. It is prescription and you take 1 pill 3 times a day. ## Hello, Tiffaney! How are you? This medication shouldn't be taken for weight gain, unless your doctor has specifically prescribed it for such use. Additionally, since the weight gain is a side effect, it will also slow down, as your body gets used to the medication and it will not continue, once you stop taking it. ...

What is this pill used for? My wife is taking it and all she does is sleep. Is it for gaining weight or what? ## I'm trying to find something stronger for weight gain, as the Cipritol-4 syrup did not work for me, nor did Apetamin. I need something stronger. ## Cipritol is listed as containing the active ingredient Cyproheptadine, which is actually an antihistamine that is used to treat and prevent allergic reactions, thus drowsiness is one of its normal side effects. It can also cause weight gain, as a side effect, but that is really not its intended use, and if she is taking it regularly, or taking more than the normal dosage, it will could cause her to sleep a lot. Mikimouse, are you underweight? If so, you should speak to your doctor about a safe way to try to gain weight. Howeve...

I'm 17 and the doctor told me I had gallstones, and so I've literally been eating foods with no fat, non greasy, and it caused my weight to deteriorate dramatically. I wasn't pleased at my weight at all. And so I did some research and found out about periactin bin on the pill for a month and the results are amazing!!! Butt growth, thigh growth, arms and a little bit of stomach. I love it !! I'm currently still on the pill I honestly fell in love with my weight. It workssss!!! ## The only problem with it is that the weight gain is just a side effect, so you might lose it all, again, once you stop taking it, according to NIH reports. Side effects are usually transient, so they tend to go away with time, once your body gets used to a medication, or once you stop taking it. ...

I have been off and on the medication since 2001. The only time I get off of it because I gain so much weight.. But as soon as I get of the meds, I loose weight and fast.. Really my Dr placed me on this med because I had a poor eating habit (maybe one meal a day).. But now I am back on the pill bc I have lost to much weight in my book... I went from 115 lbs in 2001 to 135.. Don't get me wrong I love the weight gain. I also suffer from migraines and so far this pill has yet to help with that.. Good luck everyone, hope this helped.... ## Cyproheptadine is an antihistamine, used to treat various medical issues, including stimulating the appetite.

In the year 2000 my friend suggested me to use Practine and Dexona for gaining weight. I did the same. I found my face is becoming big and people are telling that I am gaining weight. I used it for One month. After three to four months I felt uneazyness in my upper abdomen while sitting. I just took it carelessly. Day by day it increased. In 2004 I visited Doctor, but I was advised to loose weight. But it didn't decrease, rather day by day now in last of 2010 I was bound visit MD and Gastro. In USG the result is Mild Hepatemology. In Endoscopy the result is patchy duodenitis. My question is: Is this due to using Practine and Dexona? ## Trying to gain weight artificially is never a good or safe idea. Practine contains the active ingredient Cyproheptadine, which is an antihistamine, m...
