What Causes Increase In Weight?
I take panadiene extra and panadine forte on a regular basis for neck pain, I have really started to put on weight yet I don't eat a lot of fatty foods, I eat veg, fruit, drink orange juice and mineral water, yet i seem to keep putting weight on? I am active and my weight use to be 70 kilos, it has now gone up to 74 kilos.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum .
The panadine extra, and forte are the paracetamol, combination drugs, which usually have a water retaining property, and a weight gain, which is due to the water retention.
I advise you to consult a physician for alternative, pain killers, which have less water retaining property.
Anemia may be one of the causes for edema, and weight gain.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts and protein rich foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
