What is it used for?
Cyproheptadine is an antihistamine used to relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itching, watery eyes and hives. It may also be prescribed by a doctor to help stimulate appetite in some people.

How does it work?
It blocks histamine, a substance involved in allergic reactions, and helps reduce allergy symptoms. It can also affect serotonin pathways, which may increase appetite.

Take it only as directed by a doctor or pharmacist. It may cause sleepiness, so avoid driving or operating machinery until its effects are known. Do not take more than recommended.

Common side effects
Sleepiness, dizziness, dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, increased appetite and weight gain.

Precautions
Avoid alcohol and other medicines that cause drowsiness unless advised by a doctor. Use cautiously if there is glaucoma, difficulty passing urine, asthma, liver or kidney disease, or in older adults. It is generally not used in infants below 2 years unless specifically prescribed. Seek medical help for severe drowsiness, breathing difficulty or an allergic reaction.
