Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details, in which there is no mention of how is your blood glucose controlled. Sometimes if blood glucose is not wll controlled, there is a chance of loosing weight and developing signs of general weakness. The medicine mentioned (cyproheptadine) is actually an antihistamine. Appetite stumlation is a side-effect of that drug. It is not supposed to be taken for that at all. Plus it will produce fair amount of drowsiness. Thanks.

It is not advised to take it for weight gain. It is recommended that you include things in your diet plan that help in weight gain. Make your habit of consuming boiled egg, banana, roasted dates, and ghee daily. These are the natural procedures for weight gain without harming your body.

No, its not because of apetamin syrup. Is there any chance of pregnancy. If yes then you need to do urine pregnancy test. It should be done 10 days after missing your period. For example if your date was 10th, then do the test on 20th. Before that it can give false negative or false positive test. If no then get your thyroid profile, cbc, blood sugar fasting checked from some lab.If everything is normal then do an ultrasound of abdomen.
For more details you can consult me.

Hi,
Thank you for your query. We will be happy to help you.
