Hi,

For weight gain you can take Ciplactin which is an anti-allergic drug and has side effect of increased hunger, increased food intake can help in weight gain. It also has side effect of drowsiness so may affect working capacity. Hence, it will not be ideal for healthy weight gain.

Dexona is a steroid preparation and prolonged course of Dexona attains weight gain but here weight gain is due to water retention, swelling on body and therefore, weight gain here is pseudo weight gain. The other side effects of steroid can affect health adversely. Actual weight gain needs exercises with high protein, vitamin and mineral rich diet under a dietitian's advice and a physical trainer.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
