How does Promet work?

ravi udawat MBBS , General Physician

Promet works by arresting the free histamines. Free histamines are found in the bloodstream due to allergic reactions, and hence this drug helps in relieving allergic symptoms such as coughing and sneezing. Additionally, it also eases the body and helps in inducing sleep by relaxing the brain. This helps the person to take complete rest and recover faster.

Does Promet cause weight gain?

Dr. Gaurav MBBS , General Physician

Most antipsychotics cause weight gain and Promet is also one of the drugs that cause the same. Promet induces sleep and causes lethargy in patients due to which the physical activity gets reduced, leading to weight gain. Since weight loss is difficult for most people, emphasis should be paid on preventing weight gain using lifestyle modifications comprising a change of diet and the addition of physical activity in routine.
