What Is The Cyp Pill Used For

I use the pill cypro it help me gain weight. I used it for my hay fever ad well I put on 7lbs slowly. But I have gained about 15lbs so far.it's. Not so bad. ## Hello, Margaret! How are you? Cyproheptadine is classified as an antihistamine and it is most commonly used to treat allergic reactions. The weight gain can be a side effect of it, as reported by the FDA. You may also experience dizziness, drowsiness and dry mouth. However, like most side effects, they tend to be transient, so you may not always gain weight, while taking it, plus once you stop, you will most likely lose the weight. Is there anything else I can help with?

Can I take Cipla Actin when I feel overworked and stressed and I need more energy for my work? ## Hello, Modise! How are you? No, according to the U.S. FDA, this medication may actually cause drowsiness and dizziness as side effects, thus it is not going to help you with energy or concentration. And the manufacturer website says "Cipla-Actin treats and prevents nausea and vomiting, including motion sickness" and contains Cyproheptadine HCi 4 mg. ## Hi am 25 yrs I have sinus problem and nose blockage due to deviation pace in the nose and I was advised to use cipla actin 10 mg..(am not allergic to any medicine) ma I know whether it will help me and plus if yes then will it have any side effects on driving cause am a regular driver going to work by my own car..

I've just been to the chemist for something for my over hyperactive 3year old and got Cipla Actin 4mg. Can I use this to calm him down? ## Hello, Nikky! How are you and child? This is an antihistamine containing Cyproheptadine HCi 4 mg that's actually intended to treat allergic reactions, though it can cause drowsiness and sedation as side effects, as reported by the U.S FDA. It can also cause weight gain. I really think it would be best to consult a doctor, rather than giving your child something recommended by your local chemist, just to be careful. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thanks so much for your reply. The doctor actually said its ok to give it to him as he doesn't eat well but his weight is ok it wouldn't be harmful to pick up more weight. We are b...

Hi, I started giving my two and a half years daughter Cypriot BC 3 days ago because she has a lack of appetite. It seems to be working. However she seems to feel more drowsy than usual, which is a typical side effect as I read. I would like to know if it is safe to keep taking it and if so how long she should keep taking it. Thank you

Was trying to order periactin weight gains my appetite is down i go maybe 2 days without bein able to eat i think its stress but i am losing to much weight ## Because Cyproheptadine (Periactin) is a prescription medication - at least here in the US - you will need to visit a doctor in order to get it prescribed. Something to keep in mind though is that if you intend on using this medication for weight gain, doing so may be a waste of time in my opinion, since Cyproheptadine is an antihistamine and weight gain is only listed a possible side effect that may or may not occur. So if you ask me, hoping for 1 side effect to pull through doesn't necessarily sound like a feasible approach to weight gain. Have you considered discussing appetite stimulants with your doctor or maybe even an he...

What is the story with these tablets? Do you get a big butt and big hips? I'm very interested to know and am tempted to take them cos im not happy with my body shape. However i read a story of a girl where she took the tablets and only one butt cheek grew, and i think it's now irreversible! ## They contain the active ingredient Cyproheptadine, which is an antihistamine that is most commonly used to treat allergic reactions. It is not safe to try to use them just to gain weight, unless your doctor has specifically instructed you to do so. Just like any other medication, it carries the risk of side effects and adverse reactions. Learn more: And yes, it would be reversible, because the weight gain only lasts as long as you are taking the medication. Are there any other questions or...

My son weight 89 pounds no appetite and he's paralyzed from the waist down so the pills will work for him ## Hello, Janice! How are you? In your son's case, you shouldn't give him anything, without his doctor's approval. His health is still very fragile and the slightest misstep could be a disaster. What other medications is he taking? How far underweight is he? The FDA classifies this medication as an antihistamine and its typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. ## I gained weight from taking the pill. But everyone is different. I don't think it would hurt to try, they will make you drowsy. But that will go away in time.

I've been using Apetito for 2 years now and I sometimes gained weight very fast, like within a week. However I noticed if I stop taking Apetito I end up losing weight. I'd be curious to find out what happens when others stop taking their Apetito pills and if there's any unusual amount of weight loss you may have experienced from doing so? Apetito is okay because it does help increase your appetite, but it really can make you eat a lot which is the reason why you gain weight. I just know that if taken everyday and eating a lot of food then you will naturally end up gaining weight very fast. Yes, Apetito works. ## From what I’ve gathered, Apetito (cyproheptadine) is a prescription medication used to help increase the appetite in people with medical conditions that cause ...

My age is 33 years and my weight is 45 kg. I want to increase my weight with the help of this medication. Please advise. ## I am sorry, but this site doesn't manufacture, prescribe, nor sell any medications, this is an information only website. From what I can discover, Cyp-L contains a multivitamin complex and Cyproheptadine, which is an antihistamine that is also used to stimulate appetite, so weight gain can be caused as a side effect. Have you consulted a doctor? There are medical conditions that can cause this type of problem and it that's what is causing it, then you need medical treatment to help rectify the problem. 45kgs, which is around 99 pounds is very tiny, but how tall are you? The best way to gain weight is to use a proper, healthy diet that increases your caloric...
