My daughter is taking it for stomach migraines and it is working great for her too except for she has gained 6 lbs in six weeks and she is only five. It breaks my heart. Its not fair. If you find anything out please email me.

This drug is used to treat allergies, to stimulate the appetite of underweight people, thus explaining the weight gain and to treat migraines in children and adolescents.

There are other migraine medications available, please talk to your doctor.
