CYPROHEPTADINE, DEXAMETHASONE DOES NOT ENLARGE HIPS AND PROLONGED USE CAN DESTROY YOUR BODY
I'm informed some ladies are taking a combination of dexamethasone and cyproheptadine to enlarge their hips.
These two medicines will not enlarge your hips and give you that curvy figure you are looking for.
Although they promote weight gain (through appetite stimulation), the weight will not be distributed in the areas you want.
Prolonged use of dexamethasone (anything more than two weeks) will cause a redistribution of fat in your body from the limbs to the trunk and and will shrink your muscles making you become flabby. You become fat in the face, neck, shoulder blades and abdomen (pot-belly), while the buttocks, hips and thighs shrink. Eventually you will have a fat body and big tummy, but with thin legs and arms (truncal obesity).
Prolonged use of dexamethasone also damages your skin, lowers your immunity, and increases your risk of developing diabetes mellitus and high blood pressure.
Take note that there is no medicine (conventional or herbal) that will enlarge your hips and give you that greatly coveted pear-shaped figure.
