Increased hunger after taking medicines

2023-06-21 17:03:32
I had stomach discomfort for the last few days with other symptoms for which the doctor prescribed me rifaximin, enzigest 1000 and pantosec( empty stomach) . I have taken the medicines for two days and my symptoms have improved but I have started to feel constant hunger. Do these medicines cause this? Is there anything that I can do for this?

These medicines don't increase your appetite. You might have been voluntarily starving when you had stomach discomfort.
