Aptimust Syrup 200 ml belongs to a group of combination medicines called 'appetite enhancers' used to stimulate the appetite and treat alimentary tract and metabolism problems. Aptimust Syrup 200 ml helps treat lack of appetite, weight loss, and anorexia nervosa (an eating disorder with low body weight). Lack of appetite results in missing meals. This, in turn, may cause a lack of some essential and nonessential nutrients. Taking Aptimust Syrup 200 ml enhances food consumption and hence helps in fulfilling nutritional needs.
Aptimust Syrup 200 ml combines three medicines: cyproheptadine, sorbitol, and tricholine. Cyproheptadine is an appetite enhancer. It works by decreasing the effect of a chemical messenger (serotonin) in the hypothalamus, a portion of the brain which controls appetite. Sorbitol behaves as a syrup base and an osmotic laxative to reduce constipation. On the other hand, Tricholine is a bile acid-binding agent that eliminates bile acids from the body. The liver then generates more bile acids using cholesterol, due to which cholesterol level is reduced.
