Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
So far as your question regarding Longifen and Practin are concerned,both drugs increase apetite so you will eat more. As Longifen is contraindicated in pregnancy you should not take it. As there is no risk associated for Practin you can take it if you have no problem with increased appetite. For maintaining health and gaining optimum weight, sufficient quantity of macro and micronutrients are essential. And the way of lifestyle must be systematic. Regular food habits, sleep duration, bowel movements, happy mind, etc. Etc. Then only health will improve and subsequently you will gain weight in the process. A consultation with a nutritionist is also advised.
