Mechanism of Action: Cyproheptadine is a potent competitive antagonist of both serotonin and histamine receptors. It acts by blocking histamine and serotonin receptors. It alleviates allergic symptoms by inhibiting the effects of histamine, and its blockage of serotonin receptors, particularly 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C, contributes to appetite stimulation. The antagonism of serotonin receptors, particularly the 5-HT2C subtype, is thought to increase appetite. By blocking these receptors, cyproheptadine may enhance the desire for food and contribute to weight gain. Tricoline citrate promotes the secretion of bile from the liver. This supports digestion by aiding in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fats. Additionally, tricoline citrate contributes to liver function, facilitating detoxification processes and promoting overall digestive health.
