Practin-EN Syrup is used to improve appetite in people with poor appetite or unwanted weight loss. It is a combination medicine containing cyproheptadine, an antihistamine with appetite-stimulating effects, and tricholine citrate, and belongs to a group of medicines called appetite stimulants.
This medicine is also used to support weight gain in underweight children and adults who are not eating enough, including during recovery from illness. Shake the bottle well, measure each dose with the cup provided, and take it as prescribed by your doctor. It may take a few weeks for appetite to improve.
Eating regular, balanced meals and healthy snacks that include protein, fruit and vegetables, rather than filling up on sugary or fried food, helps the extra appetite lead to healthy weight gain. Light physical activity can also help build a normal appetite.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have glaucoma, difficulty passing urine or an enlarged prostate, a stomach or bowel blockage, asthma, epilepsy, or liver problems, and about other medicines you take. It is not suitable for children below 2 years of age. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. This medicine may cause drowsiness, so avoid driving and alcohol if affected.
