These kinds of medicines should be used very cautiously, as they may lead to hypertension and marrow suppression in some cases and affect pubertal changes as well. My advice will be to not take such medicines and to get a hemogram profile and TTGA (tissue transglutaminase) to rule out celiac disease and a TFT (thyroid function test) to rule out a thyroid disorder.
