Question:
Does Diclectin increase appetite? or assist in excessive weight gain...Can the drug cause diahrea?
Answer:
The main side effect of Diclectin is drowsiness. Diclectin per se would not increase your appetite or weight gain, though it could be increased because your nausea and vomiting are decreased and you are able to eat more. We have
not had reports of diarrhea from taking Diclectin.
