What is Apetamin Syrup?
Apetamin Syrup is a combination medicine used primarily as an appetite stimulant to help individuals who struggle with poor eating habits or those looking to achieve healthy weight gain. It contains Cyproheptadine Hydrochloride, an antihistamine that also works on the hypothalamus to trigger hunger.
In addition to Cyproheptadine, Apetamin is fortified with L-Lysine and essential B-vitamins (Thiamine, Pyridoxine, Nicotinamide, and Dexpanthenol) to support metabolic health and energy levels.
