To gain weight effectively, you can consider taking weight gainer supplements. One popular option is "Ensure Plus" which is a high-calorie nutritional supplement drink. Additionally, you can also try "Apetamin Syrup" which is known to stimulate appetite and promote weight gain. The recommended dosage is 5ml (1 teaspoon) three times a day before meals. Remember to combine these supplements with a balanced diet and regular exercise for optimal results.
