Aromacid 120ml Syrup

Cyproheptadine, an active ingredient in the syrup/suspension, primarily acts as an antihistamine. It exerts its effect by blocking histamine H1 receptors, leading to a reduction in histamine-induced symptoms. Additionally, cyproheptadine possesses antiserotonergic properties, which can help in alleviating certain conditions associated with serotonin activity. Tricholine citrate, another component, functions as a cholinergic agent. It promotes the secretion of digestive juices, enhancing gastrointestinal motility and aiding in the digestive process. This combination of actions makes the syrup/suspension effective in managing various gastrointestinal and histamine-related disorders.
