How Kapihung Products work
Cyproheptadine + Tricholine Citrate + Sorbitol 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 which regulates appetite. Tricholine citrate is a bile acid binding agent which removes bile acids from the body. The liver then produces more bile acids using cholesterol, as a result of which cholesterol level is lowered. Sorbitol acts as a syrup base and also as an osmotic laxative to relieve constipation.

Q. My child has a long-term illness and a poor appetite. Can I give Kapihung Syrup?
Loss of appetite can sometimes occur as a side effect of medicines used for chronic illnesses. Kapihung Syrup may help improve appetite and hunger, which can support better nutritional intake and weight gain. However, you should consult your child’s doctor before giving this medicine because the correct dose and duration depend on the child’s age, weight, and medical condition. Improvement in appetite may take a few days to weeks. Always inform the doctor if your child is taking other medicines.

No, Kapihung Syrup should not be given to children for the purpose of inducing sleep. Although the medicine may cause drowsiness as a side effect, it is not meant to treat sleep problems. If your child has difficulty sleeping, consult your doctor to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
Q. How much Kapihung Syrup should I give to my child?
Always give Kapihung Syrup exactly in the dose prescribed by your child’s doctor. The correct dose is calculated based on your child’s age and body weight. Do not increase or decrease the dose on your own because it may cause unwanted side effects or worsen your child’s condition.
