[|AI|]  Thanks for posting your query at Chat Doctor. Let me ascertain that there is no medicine that helps in gaining weight. Cyproheptidine is a Chat Doctor.  But at the same time when parents demand some medicine for the weight gain of the child, doctors have nothing else other than this medicine or vitamins. Vitamin supplements too are ineffective as they are required in very small amounts, and we can get adequate amounts anyway through normal diet provided that we do not have a specific deficiency. So the only way that your child can gain weight is to take more proteins and carboy
