Cyproheptadine is an antihistamine that works by blocking H1 receptors, thereby reducing the effects of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. It also has anticholinergic and sedative properties.

Precautions and Warnings

  • Drug Interactions: Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, as Cyproheptadine can interact with other drugs, especially central nervous system depressants (e.g., sedatives, tranquilizers, alcohol).
  • Side Effects: Common side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, and blurred vision. Severe side effects are rare but may include confusion, hallucinations, difficulty urinating, and severe allergic reactions.
  • Avoid Alcohol: Alcohol can increase the sedative effects of Cyproheptadine.
