Heptad Syrup

Heptad Syrup is a combination of two medicines. The first is cyproheptadine which revs up your appetite, while tricholine citrate helps manage cholesterol by facilitating a body cleanup.

Cyproheptadine works by toning down the impact of serotonin in the brain's appetite control center, thereby stimulating appetite. Tricholine citrate aids in eliminating bile acids, encouraging the liver to produce more cholesterol, and ultimately reducing cholesterol levels.

Read the label instructions before using this medication. Use a measuring cup to take it orally, and shake the syrup well before use. It can be taken with or without food, but maintaining a consistent daily schedule is recommended for better results.

It may cause drowsiness and has anticholinergic properties that can result in side effects such as dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, and urinary retention. Individuals with specific medical conditions (eg, glaucoma, prostate enlargement) may require special consideration.

Inform your healthcare provider about any history of allergies or adverse reactions to medications to prevent potential allergic reactions to cyproheptadine or tricholine citrate. Be cautious while operating machinery or engaging in activities requiring alertness until the effects of the medication are known.

If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember. However, if the next dose is due soon, skip the missed one and resume your regular schedule. Avoid taking two doses simultaneously. Consult your doctor for guidance on managing missed doses effectively.

Always follow your doctor's recommendations and seek medical advice if you encounter any concerning symptoms or issues while using this medication.
