Guest guest Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Ian was just prescribed Periactin for appetite stimulant. We will start tomorrow - 1/2 teaspoon - 3 x day. He's currently 20lbs 12 oz. (He's been bouncing between 20-21 lbs since June) Does this dosing sound correct? Just curious. I trust the doc - but, always like a little info from some friends <grin>. I also have a friend back in Chicago who's husband is fighting cancer. I'm very worried about him. But, he wanted me to check about steroids for Ian. (He's a surgeon). He currently takes Decadron for his appetite stimulant and wondered if Ian would benefit from something like that as well. Has anyone heard of steroids for our kids? Thanks for any input you can provide. - H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
