What are some effective ways to boost appetite?

Question

Hello doctor,

I have been a slightly built person since childhood, and I want to gain weight. I am considering taking Liv 52 DS tablets to help increase my appetite. Could you please provide guidance on how to take this medication? Specifically, I would like to know whether it should be taken before or after meals, in the morning or evening, and whether I should take one or two tablets. I would appreciate your opinion on this matter.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern about your appetite.

However, Liv 52 DS tablets (containing guduchi, daruharidra, mulak, and amalaki) are not primarily used to improve appetite. Their main purpose is to enhance liver function and aid in repairing liver damage, particularly related to enzyme secretion. These tablets are typically recommended based on a patient's overall needs, so they may not be particularly relevant for improving appetite in your case. Additionally, Liv 52 DS is not advised for individuals who consume alcohol. If you do consume alcohol, it is best to avoid using this medication.

Instead, you might consider syrups containing Diastase and Pepsin or consult with a doctor to find a suitable medication for appetite improvement. Additionally, working with a dietician to create a personalized diet plan can be very beneficial. Regular exercise can also help stimulate your appetite, so you might want to incorporate that into your routine.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
