The combination of Cyproheptadine HCl 2mg, Tricholine Citrate 275mg, and Sorbitol (70%) 2g is commonly used as an appetite stimulant, particularly in patients with poor appetite due to various conditions like illness, weight loss, or malnutrition.
- Cyproheptadine HCl (2mg) is an antihistamine with anticholinergic properties, primarily used to treat allergic conditions. However, it also has an appetite-stimulating effect, making it beneficial in managing weight loss or lack of appetite in conditions like anorexia, post-surgery recovery, or chronic illness.
- Tricholine Citrate (275mg) is a compound that helps in liver function by promoting the emulsification and breakdown of fats, aiding in the regulation of fat metabolism. It also has a mild cholagogic effect, helping to increase bile production, which can support overall digestion and appetite.
- Sorbitol (70%) 2g is used as a sweetener and a mild laxative. In this formulation, it aids in the palatability of the medicine while also helping to prevent constipation, a common side effect of some medications, including those that stimulate appetite.
