CYPON H SYP 200ML

About

Cypon H Syrup typically contains Cyproheptadine, an antihistamine that also possesses appetite-stimulating properties. While primarily known for its antihistaminic effects in treating allergic conditions like rhinitis and urticaria, its significant side effect of increasing appetite has led to its use in individuals experiencing poor appetite or weight loss. It works by acting on serotonin receptors in the hypothalamus, which plays a crucial role in regulating hunger and satiety.

This syrup is often prescribed to promote weight gain in underweight individuals, children with growth concerns, or patients recovering from illness where appetite suppression is a factor. It helps to enhance caloric intake, thereby supporting nutritional status and overall physical development.
