Cyproheptadine Hydrochloride and Tricholine Citrate Syrup 

Description

Cyproheptadine Hydrochloride and Tricholine Citrate Syrup is part of a class of medications known as ‘appetite stimulants,’ used to enhance appetite and address issues related to the digestive system and metabolism. This combination aids in treating reduced appetite, weight loss, and anorexia nervosa, which is an eating disorder associated with low body weight. Additionally, it is often prescribed for underweight children who do not consume enough food, along with conditions like loss of appetite, anaemia, liver or digestive disorders, and as a supplementary treatment during anti-tubercular (anti-TB) and antiretroviral (anti-HIV) therapies for weight gain.

How Do Cyproheptadine Hydrochloride and Tricholine Citrate Syrup Work?

The formulation of Cyproheptadine Hydrochloride and Tricholine Citrate Syrup consists of two components: Cyproheptadine hydrochloride, an antihistamine/antiallergic, and Tricholine citrate, which functions as a bile acid binder. Cyproheptadine hydrochloride operates by diminishing the impact of serotonin, a chemical messenger in the hypothalamus, thus helping to boost appetite. Meanwhile, Tricholine citrate serves as a bile acid-binding agent that eliminates surplus bile acid, prompting the liver to generate more bile acid from cholesterol, leading to a reduction in body fat content.
