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...

Cipla actin is used to treat different disease - so what are these diseases? It is not written on the instruction papers that it can help with weight gain. ## This medication is listed as containing the active ingredient Cyproheptadine, which is an antihistamine that is used to treat seasonal allergies, such as hay fever, as reported by the NIH. The weight gain is a side effect from long-term use, but it is generally not permanent and one will usually lose the weight, once they stop taking it. It tends to make people have more of an appetite, but as I said, that is not a permanent thing. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi.
