A member asked:
Does anyone know if there is over-the-counter medication that i can take to help gain about 20-30 lbs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Food is the best med: No medication, but plenty of high fat and high caloric content food will certainly help. Drink a milkshake made with an "instant breakfast" or use a nutritional supplement like ensure or boost in between each meal as a snack. If you consistently eat about three of those per day you should gain about 2 lbs/wk.
