Cyproheptadine

Cyproheptadine is an oral medication primarily used to alleviate symptoms of allergic reactions, such as hives, itching, and sneezing. It is also prescribed for the prevention and treatment of migraine headaches, as well as for controlling nausea and vomiting associated with certain cancer treatments. Cyproheptadine works by blocking the effects of histamine, a substance released during an allergic reaction, and by inhibiting the release of other chemicals that can cause inflammation and discomfort. This medication is typically taken in tablet form, and its dosage may vary depending on the individual’s age, weight, and specific condition being treated. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult with a healthcare professional before making any changes to the medication regimen.
