Yes, rarely Lupiheme causes weight gain, if taken long-term (especially in female). However, the exact cause of weight gain is still unknown. You are advised to do brisk walking daily to keep yourself active and maintaining a healthy weight while taking Lupiheme.

No, Lupiheme doesn't cause leg cramps. In fact, deficiency of iron leads to leg cramps.

Lupiheme should be taken for as long as it is prescribed by your doctor. You must not skip the dose or take an extra dose as per your own will as that might lead to side effects. Follow the instructions of your doctor completely.

Yes, Lupiheme may cause acne. For treating acne, one must talk to a doctor. There are many over the counter creams available for treating acne such as topical antibiotics, creams containing ingredients like retinoids, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid, isotretinoin, etc. There are many herbal creams also available which contain ingredients like fuller's earth, aloe vera, etc. However, it is best to see a doctor who is likely to prescribe a cream as per the skin type and severity of one's acne. Acne can be prevented or managed by eating a low carb, low fat and high protein diet, by treating hormonal issues and staying stress-free.
