Introduction
Cycorp Drop is a combination of two active medicines, cyproheptadine and tricholine citrate. Together, these medicines help stimulate appetite (hunger) in children. It is also given to treat allergic conditions in children. The exact mechanism of action is not fully understood, but it is believed to work by reducing the effect of serotonin in the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that regulates appetite.
Directions for Use
Never increase or decrease the dose by yourself as the dose is prescribed based on your child's condition, body weight, and age.
How it works
Cycorp Drop contains two medicines, cyproheptadine and tricholine citrate. Together, they stimulate the urge to eat (appetite). Cyproheptadine acts by reducing the effect of serotonin (a chemical messenger) in the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that regulates appetite. Tricholine citrate also helps in increasing appetite and spares amino acids for muscle enhancement.
Quick Tips
Dry mouth may occur as a side effect. Frequent mouth rinses, good oral hygiene, increased water intake, and chewing on sugarless candy may help. Cycorp Drop can cause a bitter taste in your child's mouth. Eating a piece of citrus fruit or sugarless candy may help. Never increase or decrease the dose by yourself as the dose is prescribed based on your child's condition, body weight, and age. Do not give Cycorp Drop to increase your child's body weight under normal conditions. It is prescribed to treat malnutrition due to chronic illness. Call your child's doctor right away if your child exhibits allergic rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty soon after the intake of Cycorp Drop.
