Cyproheptadine HCL

Cyproheptadine Hydrochloride (HCL) is a synthetic first-generation antihistamine with additional anticholinergic and serotonin antagonist properties. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder, soluble in water, with a bitter taste. Cyproheptadine HCL is widely used in medical and veterinary fields for its potent antihistaminic effects, appetite stimulation, and treatment of allergic conditions. It blocks H1 histamine receptors, helping to reduce symptoms of allergic reactions, and is also used for various off-label applications including migraine prophylaxis and serotonin syndrome management.
