CompositionHungree Syrup is used to stimulate appetite in children and adults who have a lack of desire to eat, which may lead to weight loss or nutritional deficiencies. It contains cyproheptadine, an antihistamine that also has appetite-stimulating properties, and is effective in managing various allergic symptoms.
Cyproheptadine works by blocking histamine and serotonin receptors, which can increase appetite over time, while also relieving allergy symptoms such as sneezing, a runny nose and itching of the eyes and skin, thanks to its antihistamine action.
Give or take this syrup using the measuring cup provided, at the dose your doctor prescribes based on age and weight, usually with meals.
This medicine can affect your ability to drive or operate machinery, so take care with activities needing alertness, and avoid alcohol. Tell your doctor if you have glaucoma, asthma, or difficulty passing urine, as cyproheptadine needs caution in these conditions.
