Product Overview
Cyproheptadine is a first-generation piperidine antihistamine. Unlike newer antihistamines, it possesses significant antiserotonergic activity. This dual mechanism makes it effective not only for allergic symptoms but also for clinical conditions requiring appetite stimulation and the management of serotonin-mediated disorders.
The “Multi-Action” Specialist:
- Mechanism of Action: Cyproheptadine competes with free histamine for binding at H1-receptor sites. Additionally, it acts as an antagonist at 5-HT2 receptors. In the hypothalamus, this serotonin blockade is believed to stimulate the appetite center, leading to increased caloric intake and weight gain.
- Versatile Allergy Relief: It effectively manages perennial and seasonal allergic rhinitis, vasomotor rhinitis, and allergic conjunctivitis by reducing capillary permeability and edema.
- Vascular Headache Prophylaxis: Due to its antiserotonergic effects, it is frequently utilized in the prevention of migraines and cluster headaches where serotonin levels fluctuate.
