Neither Ciplactin (cyproheptadine) nor
Dexona (dexametasone) should be used
(abused) for weight gain.
Ciplactin is used for treating allergies
and migraine. It can’t cause weight
gain.
Dexona is a steroid drug that is used as
an immune suppressive drug for treating
allergies and autoimmune disorders. Like
all steroid drugs, long-time usage of
dexametasone causes appetite increase and
weight gain. Long-term usage of
dexametasone also causes so many other
serious side effects (stomach ulcer,
diabetes mellitus, infections
vulnerability, psychiatric disturbances,
osteoporosis, muscle atrophy, fatty liver
degeneration, Cushing syndrome,
hypertension, edema, dependence with
withdrawal syndrome, certain types of
glaucoma, cataract, acne etc.) that it
can’t be used for weight gain.
