What Is Cipla Actin 4mg Used For

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?
