Cyproheptadine Tablets Ingredients

Cyproheptadine Tablets contain the active ingredient Cyproheptadine hydrochloride, a potent antihistamine. Inactive ingredients may include cellulose, lactose, and magnesium stearate, depending on the manufacturer. These ingredients ensure the stability and efficacy of the medication.

How It Works

Cyproheptadine acts by blocking histamine receptors in the body, preventing the histamine from binding and triggering allergic reactions. It also has antiserotonergic effects, which contribute to its ability to stimulate appetite in pets. This dual-action mechanism makes it a valuable medication for managing both allergies and appetite loss.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage and frequency of Cyproheptadine Tablets depend on the pet's size, weight, and condition being treated. Typically, the dosage ranges from 0.1 to 0.5 mg per pound of body weight, administered 2 to 3 times daily. Always follow your veterinarian's advice for the best results.

Consistency

For optimal effectiveness, administer Cyproheptadine Tablets at the same time each day. Consistency in dosing helps maintain steady levels of the medication in the pet's system, ensuring continuous relief from symptoms.
