Avroappetit Multivitamin Syrup – Appetite Stimulant & Nutritional Support
Avroappetit Multivitamin Syrup is a specialized formula designed to stimulate appetite and provide essential nutritional support. It is commonly used in Nigeria as a "blood tonic" and weight gain supplement for individuals experiencing poor appetite, recovery from illness, or nutritional deficiencies.
How Avroappetit Works for Weight Gain
The primary active ingredient in Avroappetit is Cyproheptadine Hydrochloride. This is an antihistamine that has the well-documented effect of increasing appetite by interacting with the body's hunger signals. When combined with B-complex vitamins (B1, B2, B6, and B12), the syrup helps the body convert food into energy more efficiently, supporting healthy weight gain and overall vitality.
Key Benefits of Avroappetit
- Appetite Stimulation: Helps individuals who find it difficult to eat enough calories to meet their nutritional needs.
- Nutritional Support: Provides essential B-vitamins that are crucial for nerve health, red blood cell production, and energy metabolism.
- Support for Recovery: Ideal for those recovering from malaria, typhoid, or other illnesses that cause a loss of appetite.
Dosage and Administration
For best results, Avroappetit should be taken before meals.
- Adults: 5ml (one teaspoon) two to three times daily.
- Children (7–14 years): 5ml (one teaspoon) two to three times daily.
- Children (2–6 years): 2.5ml (half a teaspoon) two to three times daily.
Note: Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery after taking this syrup, as it may cause drowsiness.
Safety and NAFDAC Regulation
In July 2024, NAFDAC reclassified appetite stimulants containing Cyproheptadine and Multivitamins as Prescription Only Medicine (POM). This measure was taken to ensure patient safety and prevent the risks associated with unauthorized or excessive use for rapid weight gain. We recommend consulting with a GoMed pharmacist or your doctor before starting this medication.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed and out of the reach of children.
