Suggest Treatment To Increase The Weight Of A Child

My daughter is very active but under weight and making her take her daily meals is a real struggle for us. Tii recently she used to be fed by her mother. To improve her body weight one of our relative advised us to give her one tsp of Sorbiline syrup. Will that be detrimental for her health.

Pl. advise. Regards AD

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

You have not mentioned age, weight , height of your daughter , You mentioned that she is active that is assuring.

Sorbiline Syrup contains Tricholine Citrate and Sorbitol Solution . It is unlikely to be detrimental to her health in prescribed doses , but question is does she require it ? So better option will be to get her checked up by a doctor before starting any medicine.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Thanks
