CYPON DROP 15ML

About

CYPON Drop is an oral solution primarily containing cyproheptadine, a first-generation antihistamine with a unique pharmacological profile. Beyond its well-known antihistaminic properties, which involve blocking histamine H1 receptors to alleviate allergic reactions like itching and sneezing, cyproheptadine also exhibits significant serotonin antagonist activity. This latter action is believed to be responsible for its prominent appetite-stimulating effects, making it a valuable therapeutic option for individuals, particularly children, who are underweight or experiencing poor appetite due to various underlying conditions. The precise mechanism by which it enhances appetite is thought to involve modulation of hypothalamic centers that regulate hunger and satiety. Formulated as drops, this medication allows for precise and convenient administration, especially crucial for pediatric patients, ensuring accurate dosing to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes in both allergic management and appetite enhancement.
