Heraclene for weight gain! When my firstborn became a toddler, he had a slow weight gain. Now he is eight years old. Still, that’s the challenge. He’s been drinking up to two glasses of milk and taking multivitamins. Although he is not prone to sickness, I am concerned with his body development. The pediatrician prescribed Heraclene for his weight gain.
What is Heraclene Vitamins?
According to drug info from MIMS Philippines, the indication and uses of Heraclene are forpremature babies, low birth wt, retarded growth, poor appetite in infant, child & adult, adjuvant to treatment of TB & other chronic ailments, convalescence from acute infection or surgery, faulty nutrition in older people. Heraclene is an appetite enhancer.
When my son was a toddler, he also took this once. He had gained weight during his toddler years. There is only a certain period that you can take this. The doctor is the one who will prescribe it and who’ll give the dosage. Just like a typical boy, my son is an active child. He is actually a fidgety child. He loves playing and running. These are some reasons he is not gaining weight fast. His body,tends to burn calories fast because of his activities. He might be thin and not big, but he is a smart boy. He is very much interested in Science and Social studies.
Here are some posts I did for my son’s weight gain:
The information posted on my posts for my kids’ weight gain is all about tips for a child’s weight gain, foods, snacks, and meal to boost calories, and other related ideas.
At a present time, my son is taking Heraclene again. Her Pedia prescribed Heraclene capsules twice a day. The Heraclene price is around 16 or 17 pesos per capsule (2017 price). Its price as of 2021, twenty pesos.
He will be taking this for 30 days. We will go back to his pediatrician after 30 days for the monitoring of his weight. Apart from the multivitamins, Heraclene, and milk, we will be giving him calorie-boosting foods. It’s funny though that while mommy is trying to lose weight, child is trying to gain weight.
How effective is Heraclene? After a week, we noticed that his food intake improved. He is now asking for more snack during merienda and would eat more meals. We’re looking forward for his weight gain after 30 days.

Jem Alvarado says
Hi Jae,
When my son was a toddler, I mixed it with his milk. But, when he have to take it again at age 7, he just take it as a regular tablet.

Trishia Mae says
Hi is it ok to give heraclene everyday?
Jem Alvarado says
Hi Trishia, As far as I can remember the pedia of my son advise us for my son to take it for a month and observe his weight gain. It is best to talk to your pedia for proper prescription.
