Description
CYP-L Drops is a paediatric appetite stimulant and liver tonic formulated for children with poor appetite, nutritional deficiencies, and liver-associated digestive problems. It combines Cyproheptadine, an antihistamine with appetite-stimulating properties, and Tricholine Citrate, a liver-protective agent that helps regulate fat metabolism and improves liver function.
-
Cyproheptadine (1.5mg): Enhances appetite by blocking histamine and serotonin, which suppress hunger. It also helps relieve mild allergic symptoms.
-
Tricholine Citrate (55mg): Improves liver health, supports bile flow, regulates cholesterol, and aids in fat metabolism, thereby enhancing digestion and nutrient absorption.
This combination helps promote healthy weight gain, improved digestion, and better nutritional status in children.
