Suggest Treatment For Side Effects Of Dexona And Practin

I have used dexona and practin for about 2 years 2 tab daily. Butdue to its side effect like streach mark, blurry vision i stopped taking it. After then i am loosing my weight day by day and i have lost my hunger.So i stareted taking cypon syrup for about 3 month. Somehow it maintained my hunger but when i stopped taking it again suffered from the same thing and lost my hunger. I have also taken homeopath and ayurveda but it did nt worked and now am very depressed because of my weight loss. so please suggest how to get rid from the side effect of dexona and practin.

Hi,

Without an exam, I can only give general information and in this case, I cannot even begin to advise since I do not know what weight and obesity level we are talking about. India is in a diabetic epidemic partly due to obesity.

Dexamethasone is really dangerous used even at moderate doses long term and needs close supervision and shouldn't be used unless REally Really necessary. Practin, while it interacts with a lot of medicines and conditions is pretty safe.

The bad part is that weight gain is not good for most people and stretch marks, blurry vision, and other side effects could be with a serious underlying condition like diabetes and the weight loss can often be a sign of very very serious disease so, while you could just go with Practin, that's not an answer at all and knowing what is going on ---which I DO NOT--is the first thing.

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

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
