Cypon Drops (15 mL), a pediatric appetite stimulant and antihistamine combo

What It Is

Cypon Drops contain:

Cyproheptadine hydrochloride 1.5 mg/mL (a first‑generation antihistamine with appetite‑stimulating effects)

Tricholine citrate 55 mg/mL (a bile acid–binding agent that may support appetite and metabolic function)

This combination helps improve appetite and supports weight gain in undernourished children.

Indications

Primarily prescribed for:

Poor appetite and weight gain in underweight or malnourished children

Adjunct support during illnesses (e.g., anemia, liver/digestive disorders) or when on anti‑TB/antiretroviral therapy 

Occasionally used off‑label for allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, migraine, asthma, and hepatic disorders

How It Works

Cyproheptadine blocks serotonin in the appetite center of the brain, increasing hunger.

Tricholine citrate helps remove excess bile acids, leading the body to utilize cholesterol for new bile acid production—this can support appetite and metabolism.

Dosage & Administration

Shake well before use and measure with the dropper provided.

Typically administered 30 minutes before food at a consistent time each day.

Dose and duration are determined by the pediatrician based on the child’s age, weight, and condition.

Side Effects

Common effects, usually mild and transient:

Dry mouth, drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision, headache

Gastrointestinal issues: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation

Insomnia, confusion, loss of coordination, rash

Rare/serious: Overdose may cause agitation, hallucinations, urinary retention, seizures, irregular heartbeat—seek urgent care if observed.

Contraindications & Precautions

Avoid use if the child has:

Allergies to cyproheptadine or tricholine

Angle‑closure glaucoma, prostatic hypertrophy, urinary or gastric outlet obstruction, peptic ulcer

Asthma, hyperthyroidism, hypertension, liver/kidney disease, cardiovascular issues

Not recommended for newborns or infants under 2 years without medical advice; use with extreme caution below 18 months due to risk of drowsiness and liver effects

Also avoid simultaneous use with alcohol, MAO inhibitors, sedatives, or antipsychotics due to increased side effects.
