How Pharmactin Syrup Works

Cyproheptadine is a first-generation antihistamine that works by blocking histamine H1 receptors and serotonin receptors. This action helps relieve allergy symptoms and also stimulates appetite by acting on the hypothalamus—making it useful in nutritional therapy for patients with poor food intake. Its sedative and appetite-inducing effects are more pronounced than newer antihistamines, which is why it is chosen in specific clinical contexts.
