Introduction
Cylip P is a medication that contains the active ingredients Cyproheptadine and Tricholine Citrate. It is available in drop form and is commonly prescribed by healthcare professionals.
Uses
Cylip P is primarily used to treat conditions such as appetite loss, nutritional deficiencies, and liver disorders. It is especially helpful in cases where there is a need to improve appetite and enhance liver function.
Dosage and Administration
The dosage of Cylip P may vary depending on the age, weight, and medical condition of the individual. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional. Generally, the recommended dosage for adults is 5-10 drops taken 2-3 times a day. For children, the dosage may be adjusted accordingly. The drops can be mixed with water or taken directly, as advised by your healthcare professional.
Mechanism of Action
Cyproheptadine, one of the active ingredients in Cylip P, is an antihistamine that works by blocking the action of histamine in the body. This helps relieve symptoms such as itching, sneezing, and runny nose. Tricholine Citrate, on the other hand, acts as a lipotropic agent and aids in the metabolism of fats in the liver. It helps improve liver function and promotes appetite.

Cylip P may interact with certain medications, including sedatives, tranquilizers, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). Inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are currently taking to avoid any potential interactions. They will be able to provide guidance on the safe use of Cylip P alongside other medications.

Before using Cylip P, inform your healthcare professional about any allergies, medical conditions, or medications you are currently taking. This will help them determine if Cylip P is suitable for you. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking this medication, as it may increase the risk of side effects.
