About Cypon Syrup 200 ml

Cypon 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. Cypon 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 Cypon Syrup 200 ml enhances food consumption and hence helps in fulfilling nutritional needs.

Cypon 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.

Take Cypon Syrup 200 ml as prescribed by your doctor. Depending on your medical conditions, you are advised to take Cypon Syrup 200 ml 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 Cypon Syrup 200 ml 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 Cypon Syrup 200 ml if you have asthma, hyperthyroidism, high blood pressure, intraocular (eye) pressure, or heart problems. Consult your doctor before taking Cypon Syrup 200 ml if you are pregnant. It is not recommended to take Cypon Syrup 200 ml if you are breastfeeding. Cypon Syrup 200 ml may cause drowsiness, so drive with caution. Avoid consumption of alcohol while taking Cypon Syrup 200 ml 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).
