How Pep ON Syrup works
Pep-ON Syrup Mixed Fruit Sugar Free is a combination of three medicines: Cyproheptadine, tricholine citrate, and sorbitol, which revives appetite. Cyproheptadine is an appetite-stimulant. It works by reducing the effect of a chemical messenger (serotonin) in the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that regulates appetite. Tricholine citrate is a bile acid-binding agent that removes bile acids from the body. The liver then produces more bile acids using cholesterol, as a result of which the cholesterol level is lowered. Sorbitol acts as a syrup base and also as an osmotic laxative to relieve constipation.
