Product Details:

Ciplactin 4mg is an antihistamine and antiserotonergic medication containing 4mg of Cyproheptadine hydrochloride. It is widely used for two main purposes: relieving allergy symptoms and stimulating appetite. Core UsesAllergic Conditions: Effectively treats symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and skin conditions such as hives (urticaria) and angioedema.Appetite Stimulant: Prescribed to manage loss of appetite and promote weight gain in individuals who are undernourished.Headache Management: Sometimes used to prevent migraines, particularly in children. How It WorksAllergy Relief: It blocks histamine, a natural substance in the body responsible for triggering allergic reactions like inflammation and itching.Appetite Stimulation: It antagonizes serotonin in the appetite centre of the hypothalamus.
