About Cyp L Oral Solution

Cyp L Oral Solution belongs to a group of combination medicines called 'appetite enhancers' used to stimulate the appetite and treat alimentary tract and metabolism problems. Cyp L Oral Solution 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 Cyp L Oral Solution enhances food consumption and hence helps in fulfilling nutritional needs.

Cyp L Oral Solution 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.

Take Cyp L Oral Solution as prescribed by your doctor. Depending on your medical conditions, you are advised to take Cyp L Oral Solution for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you. You may experience dryness in the mouth, constipation, sleepiness, drowsiness, and blurred vision. Most of these side effects of Cyp L Oral Solution do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Inform your doctor before taking Cyp L Oral Solution if you have asthma, hyperthyroidism, high blood pressure, intraocular (eye) pressure, or heart problems. Consult your doctor before taking Cyp L Oral Solution if you are pregnant. It is not recommended to take Cyp L Oral Solution if you are breastfeeding. Cyp L Oral Solution may cause drowsiness, so drive with caution. Avoid consumption of alcohol while taking Cyp L Oral Solution as it may cause increased drowsiness. Keep your doctor informed about all the medicines and your health condition to rule out any side effects.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Appetite loss: Appetite loss is a condition in which an individual has no desire to eat food. Lack of appetite causes missing meals or less urge of hungriness, resulting in a deficiency of essential and non-essential nutrients required for the proper metabolism and growth of our body. The most common reasons for the decrease in appetite include psychological conditions like stress, anxiety, depression, gastrointestinal disorders (such as acidity, peptic ulcers, and ulcerative colitis), slow metabolism, age, lowered activity levels, other disease conditions (like AIDS, HIV, cancer) and some medication side effects. Some drugs, like digoxin, fluoxetine, quinidine, and hydralazine, can cause loss of appetite (anorexia).
