periactive to get some waigth ## EVERY TIME I GET SOMETHING TO EAT I CANT EAT . MY FRIEND GAVE ME SOME OF THESE PILL A LONG TIME AGO AND THEY HELP ME GOOD I NEED MY ON ## @Montana, Based on my research, Cyproheptadine, the main ingredient in Periactin, is actually an antihistamine used to relieve allergy symptoms such as watery eyes, runny nose, itching eyes/nose, sneezing, hives, and itching. However, Periactin (cyproheptadine) is a prescription medicine that is also given to people who need to gain weight. In order to gain weight in a healthy manner or without medication, I would suggest portioning out your meals every 2-3 hours (right around 6 meals per day). These meals should include natural nutrient dense foods with little to no empty calories, so you can get the most out of each ...

Can I use practin tablets for migraine headache?ma ## Practin contains the active ingredient Cyproheptadine, which is an antihistamine that's used to treat allergic reactions, so no, it will have no effect on a migraine that has already set in. Learn more Practin details here. There has been some evidence that it may help prevent them from occurring in young children and adolescents, but not in adults and, as I said, it does nothing once someone already has a migraine. Is there anything else I can help with?

It works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. It relieves red, irritated, itchy, watery eyes; sneezing; and runny nose caused by allergies, irritants in the air, and hay fever.

My age is 33 years and my weight is 45 kg. I want to increase my weight with the help of this medication. Please advise. ## I am sorry, but this site doesn't manufacture, prescribe, nor sell any medications, this is an information only website. From what I can discover, Cyp-L contains a multivitamin complex and Cyproheptadine, which is an antihistamine that is also used to stimulate appetite, so weight gain can be caused as a side effect. Have you consulted a doctor? There are medical conditions that can cause this type of problem and it that's what is causing it, then you need medical treatment to help rectify the problem. 45kgs, which is around 99 pounds is very tiny, but how tall are you?
