Cipla actin is used to treat different disease - so what are these diseases? It is not written on the instruction papers that it can help with weight gain. ## This medication is listed as containing the active ingredient Cyproheptadine, which is an antihistamine that is used to treat seasonal allergies, such as hay fever, as reported by the NIH. The weight gain is a side effect from long-term use, but it is generally not permanent and one will usually lose the weight, once they stop taking it. It tends to make people have more of an appetite, but as I said, that is not a permanent thing. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi. I want to know if I will receive beautiful glowing skin and a nice complexion when i use cipla action tablets, cuz I have black spots from mosquito bites o...

ive been on 30mgs of oxycodone for an accident in 03. now jus a couple weeks ago i got side swiped and was in a 5 car accident. needless to say i sustained more injuries n messed up my old injuries too!! im in physical therapy n go back to my existing pain managment next week i have to report my new accident. i want to ask him for a long acting but dont know what to ask for any suggerstion?? ## The best thing you can do actually, to avoid being perceived as a drug seeker, is to talk to them and let them suggest an appropriate medication, rather than asking for anything specific. You can tell him that you feel that you may need something that works longer to control pain, because of the new injuries, but asking for any specific medication is usually considered drug seeking behavior, by m...

I've just been to the chemist for something for my over hyperactive 3year old and got Cipla Actin 4mg. Can I use this to calm him down? ## Hello, Nikky! How are you and child? This is an antihistamine containing Cyproheptadine HCi 4 mg that's actually intended to treat allergic reactions, though it can cause drowsiness and sedation as side effects, as reported by the U.S FDA. It can also cause weight gain. I really think it would be best to consult a doctor, rather than giving your child something recommended by your local chemist, just to be careful. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thanks so much for your reply. The doctor actually said its ok to give it to him as he doesn't eat well but his weight is ok it wouldn't be harmful to pick up more weight. We are b...

My Dr wants to switch me off of fentanyl because my insurance won't cover it (except under extreme circumstances). I might qualify for those circumstances because I'm allergic to almost every pain med. But we're not sure and I need some other options. What are some of the other long acting opiates that aren't going to cause servere nausea (I have cyclic vomiting syndrome) or are patches like the fentanyl? ## Hi, CD! Sorry about the problems that you're having. However, nausea and vomiting can be a side effect of all opiates, so there's really no way to say which ones may work for you, without causing it. But you may want to talk to your doctor about Butrans and see if your insurance will cover it. It's a transdermal patch, similar to the Fentanyl, that contai...
