Cyprosin Syrup belongs to a group of medicines called 'appetite enhancers' used to stimulate the appetite and treat alimentary tract and metabolism problems. Cyprosin Syrup helps in the treatment of lack of appetite, weight loss, and anorexia nervosa (an eating disorder with low body weight). Besides this, it is also prescribed for underweight children who have an inadequate dietary intake, loss of appetite, anaemia, liver/digestive disorder and as an adjunct to anti-tubercular (anti-TB drugs) and antiretroviral (anti-HIV drugs) treatment for weight gain.

Cyprosin Syrup is a combination of two drugs, namely: Cyproheptadine hydrochloride (antihistamine/antiallergic) and Tricholine citrate (bile acid binder). Cyproheptadine hydrochloride works by reducing the effect of a chemical messenger in the hypothalamus called serotonin, thereby helps stimulate the appetite. Tricholine citrate is a bile acid-binding agent that works by removing excess bile acid which causes the liver to produce more bile acid utilizing cholesterol, this, in turn, lowers the fat content in the body.

You are advised to take Cyprosin Syrup for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience common side-effects such as dry mouth, drowsiness, confusion, and ataxia (impaired balance or coordination). Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side-effects persist or worsen.
