Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking Health care magic forum.

I have gone through your query. Practin ( cyproheptadine ) is used as appetite enhancer. You can take it if you are underweight and low appetite.

You should be devoid of diseases like asthma, stomach ulcer, high blood pressure, thyroid problems or diabetes.

You can get side effects like insomnia (sleeplessness),drowsiness,dry mouth or stomach upset.

You should take healthy foods while you are on this drug. There will be tendency to take unhealthy foods like excess fat or sugar. You should have a control over it. Your diet should be balanced. Plenty of fluids also should be taken. In that also avoid carbonated and soft drinks.

This should be taken under the prescription of a physician to avoid misuse and addiction

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
