Mechanism of Action
Cypro Jex contains three active ingredients that work in different ways to provide relief.
Cyproheptadine is an antihistamine that blocks the effects of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. By blocking histamine, cyproheptadine helps to reduce symptoms such as itching, sneezing, and watery eyes.
Tricholine Citrate is a liver tonic that helps to improve liver function and promote the production of bile. It aids in digestion and enhances appetite.
Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol that acts as a sweetener in the formulation. It also has a mild laxative effect and can help relieve constipation.
