Cypri Gold Syrup 200ml: Appetite Stimulant & Allergy Relief

Cypri Gold Syrup is a well-known pharmaceutical formulation in Nigeria, primarily used to stimulate appetite and support weight gain in both children and adults. Manufactured by Therapeutic Laboratories Nigeria Limited, it combines the antihistamine properties of Cyproheptadine with the nutritional support of L-Lysine.

While it is clinically indicated for treating allergic conditions like hay fever and hives, its most popular use in the Nigerian market is as an appetite booster for individuals struggling with poor eating habits or underweight conditions.

Key Benefits of Cypri Gold Syrup

• Effective Appetite Stimulant: Helps increase the desire for food in individuals with loss of appetite.
• Weight Gain Support: Often referred to locally as a "weight gain syrup," it supports healthy weight increase when combined with a balanced diet.
• Relief from Allergies: Provides effective relief from symptoms of allergic rhinitis, such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes.
• Nutritional Support: Contains L-Lysine, an essential amino acid that aids in protein synthesis and growth.

How It Works

Cypri Gold contains Cyproheptadine Hydrochloride, which works by blocking histamine and serotonin receptors in the body. Blocking serotonin in the hypothalamus is what leads to an increased appetite. The addition of L-Lysine and liquid glucose provides a quick energy source and supports the body's metabolic processes.

• Adults: 10ml (2 teaspoons) two to three times daily.
• Children (7-12 years): 5ml (1 teaspoon) three times daily.
