CYPON SYP 200ML

About

Cypon Syrup contains Cyproheptadine, an antihistamine that also possesses significant appetite-stimulating properties. It functions by blocking histamine H1 receptors and serotonin receptors in the hypothalamus, which can lead to an increase in food intake and subsequent weight gain. Clinically, it is utilized not only for its antihistaminic effects in managing allergic conditions such as seasonal allergies, perennial allergic rhinitis, and chronic urticaria, but also primarily for its ability to stimulate appetite in individuals experiencing poor appetite or underweight conditions. The syrup formulation allows for easy administration, making it suitable for both pediatric and adult patients who require appetite enhancement or relief from allergic symptoms.
