What country is that brand (Apetito) manufactured in?

From what I could gather, the drug Cyproheptadine is known to be an antihistamine used to treat or prevent symptoms of hay fever and other allergies. Reports suggest that it is used to relieve itching associated with some skin conditions and to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor. It may also be used for a hormone disorder (Cushing's syndrome), libido problems due to certain drugs, and eating disorders (anorexia nervosa).

Some medicines or medical conditions may interact with this medicine. INFORM YOUR DOCTOR OR PHARMACIST of all prescription and over-the-counter medicine that you are taking. ADDITIONAL MONITORING OF YOUR DOSE OR CONDITION may be needed if you are taking SSRIs (e.g., fluoxetine, citalopram), MAOIs (e.g., furazolidone, linezolid, moclobemide, phenelzine, procarbazine, selegiline, isocarboxazid, tranylcypromine), other allergy medicines, or any drugs that cause drowsiness such as: medicine for sleep (e.g., sedatives), tranquilizers, anti-anxiety drugs (e.g., diazepam), narcotic pain relievers (e.g., codeine), psychiatric medicines (e.g. phenothiazines such as chlorpromazine, or tricyclics such as amitriptyline), anti-seizure drugs (e.g., carbamazepine), muscle relaxants. Inform your doctor of any other medical conditions including asthma, glaucoma, overactive thyroid, heart disease, high blood pressure, seizures, allergies, pregnancy, or breast-feeding. USE OF THIS MEDICINE IS NOT RECOMMENDED if you have history of glaucoma (narrow angle), stomach problems (e.g., peptic ulcer, stomach/intestinal obstruction), or urinary problems (e.g., enlarged prostate, bladder obstruction). Contact your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns about taking this medicine.
