Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns.

You should take Ensure Active High Protein drink. It is best for weight maintenance like you are looking to gain some. In the start take one drink per day. As your stomach gets acclimatized, then increase to 2 drinks per day. Take high fiber diets like vegetables, salads, fruits and fresh juices in diet. Keep away from sodas and excessive coffee.
