Why are you taking these medicines. Dexona is a steroid. Regular uses of it leads to Stomach upset, headache, dizziness, trouble sleeping. Increased appetite or weight gain also takes place. If you are using this for weight gain this is not good. Similarly Practin is also used for increasing weight & appetite. But regular use leads to Drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision, constipation, or dry mouth/nose/throat. So don't use the drug regularly.

Practin only will increase your appetite but it can also lead you in a state of dizziness and dexamethasone is a steroid which will lead to false weight gain and hence I will suggest you to not take any medicine for weight gain and concentrate on oral food intake.

Dexona is steroid, which has many side-effects and has to be stopped. Practin can be used for a short duration and not years together.
