Cyprowal 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. Cyprowal Syrup 200 ml helps treat lack of appetite, weight loss, and anorexia nervosa (an eating disorder with low body weight). Besides this, it is also prescribed for underweight children with inadequate dietary intake, loss of appetite, anaemia, liver/digestive disorder, antiretroviral (anti-HIV drugs) treatment for weight gain, and adjunct to anti-tubercular (anti-TB drugs).

Cyprowal Syrup 200 ml combines three drugs: Lysine, Cyproheptadine and Peptone. Lysine is a building block of essential proteins which improve appetite and digestion. Cyproheptadine works by reducing the effect of a chemical messenger in the hypothalamus called serotonin, thereby stimulating the appetite. Peptone increases the production of a protein (cholecystokinin) which controls appetite and food intake.

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 conditions (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 appetite loss (anorexia).
