Periactin

[Guest guest]

any word on Periactin ?

<snip>

" Periactin (cyproheptadine), an antihistamine which had the beneficial side

effect of increasing appetite (this is the real reason it was prescribed,

though he does " qualify " for an antihistamine, too). The results we have

seen in his growth are quite dramatic. I thought he was eating enough, but

now he is eating a lot and he is really growing (still not back on the

growth curve, but getting closer). "

I have not researched it to much but I do know, it either helps or does

nothing for appetite. Would it have somewhat of the same effect as Pepcid AC

with the antihistamine activity?

I have not checked if it has gluten or casein in it.

Thanks
