Introduction
Triko Cyp is a medication that contains two active ingredients: Cyproheptadine and Tricholine Citrate. It is available in the form of an oral suspension and is commonly prescribed under this brand name.
Uses
Triko Cyp is primarily used for the treatment of certain conditions related to the digestive system. It is commonly prescribed to help improve appetite and promote weight gain in individuals who may be experiencing a loss of appetite due to various reasons such as illness, surgery, or other medical conditions.
Dosage and Administration
The dosage of Triko Cyp may vary depending on the individual and the specific condition being treated. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional. Generally, the recommended dosage for adults is 5 ml (1 teaspoonful), taken two to three times a day. For children, the dosage may be adjusted based on their age and weight. Shake the bottle well before each use and use a measuring device to accurately measure the dosage.
Mechanism of Action
Cyproheptadine, one of the active ingredients in Triko Cyp, is an antihistamine. It works by blocking the effects of histamine, a substance in the body that is involved in allergic reactions. By blocking histamine, Cyproheptadine helps reduce symptoms such as itching, sneezing, and watery eyes. Tricholine Citrate, on the other hand, is a lipotropic agent that helps in the breakdown of fats in the liver and aids in improving digestion and liver function.
Side Effects
Common side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, and blurred vision. These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own. However, if you experience any serious side effects such as difficulty breathing, rapid heartbeat, or swelling of the face, throat, or tongue, seek immediate medical attention.
Drug Interactions
Triko Cyp may interact with certain medications, including sedatives, tranquilizers, and other antihistamines. Inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal supplements, and vitamins, to avoid any potential interactions. Your healthcare professional will be able to determine if any adjustments to your medication regimen are necessary.
