More than three months of taking hypertrophy, Mr. Nguyen Huu Nhat also showed signs of insanity. Many others suffer from facial swelling or show back pain when they stop taking the medicine.

Warning: scary

Regarding self-buying and gaining weight gain medicine, Dr. Tran Huu Vinh - Head of the General Planning Department of the National Institute of Medicine and Pharmacy - recommends that: 'The drugs of artificial medicine are very dangerous. These can cause artificial weight gain by holding water. At first the user had a good feeling of eating and sleeping.

These drugs must be prescribed by the doctor. Cyproheptadine used to combat allergies has side effects: stimulates appetite and drowsiness. However, abrupt discontinuation of the drug may cause anorexia. And dexamethason belongs to the corticoid group, if abused can lead to cushing syndrome: make the face swollen round like the moon, hair and beard must be bushy.

In addition, the main complications of corticosteroid abuse are high blood pressure, slow wound on the scar, easy to cause muscle atrophy, spongy bones and brittle fracture, peptic ulcer, reduce body resistance, menstrual disorders .

According to Dr. Vinh, the cause of thinness is different for each person, so if you want to use effective oriental medicine, you should go to the specialized medical facilities, do not use indiscriminate drugs.
