A member asked:

My 3.5 mo old daughter's weight is 10 lb-3rd percentile.eats very less.dr started cyproheptadine 0.8 ml, is on pepcid (famotidine) too 0.6 ml twice.any side effect?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes-many: There are side effects to both these drugs--too long to list here. Read the pamphlet or discuss with your pharmacist when you pick up the medications. More importantly it is perfectly fine if a child is at the 3rd percentile as long as they are gaining in ht, wt, and head circumference appropriately. If she is losing weight, that is a serious issue. Check with your pediatrician frequently.
