Introduction
Cyprosin 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. Cyprosin Drop is available in the form of drops.
Directions for Use
Do not 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
Cyprosin 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 which 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. Cyprosin 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 Cyprosin 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 Cyprosin Drop.
