How Step-UP Capsule works

Step-UP Capsule is a combination of cyproheptadine and dried yeast that helps improve appetite and nutrition. Cyproheptadine works by blocking certain chemicals in the brain that reduce hunger, making you feel hungrier. Dried yeast is packed with essential nutrients like B vitamins and proteins, which support digestion and overall health. Together, they help stimulate appetite, promote healthy weight gain, and improve nutrient absorption.

Quick tips

Maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle to support weight gain and overall well-being.
Monitor for any allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling, and seek medical attention if needed.
If taking other medications, check for possible interactions to prevent unwanted effects.
Do not exceed the prescribed dose, as overuse may lead to side effects like drowsiness or digestive issues.
Keep the medication out of reach of children and store it in a cool, dry place.
If you do not see improvement in appetite or weight gain after consistent use, consult your doctor for further evaluation.
