CompositionApetamin Syrup is used to stimulate appetite and support weight gain. It also helps manage allergic conditions such as rhinitis, conjunctivitis and urticaria (hives), and relieves associated itching in some cases.
It contains cyproheptadine, an antihistamine that also has an appetite-stimulating effect. Take it as prescribed by your doctor, generally before meals. Continue taking it only for the duration advised, as it is intended for short-term use to support weight gain or manage allergy symptoms.
Eating small, frequent, nutrient-rich meals alongside this medicine can further support healthy weight gain. Regular physical activity, as tolerated, helps maintain muscle alongside any weight gained.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have glaucoma, urinary retention, asthma, or are taking other medicines. Because it can cause drowsiness, avoid activities requiring alertness until you know how it affects you. Contact your doctor if side effects are severe or persistent.
