PRACTIN EN SYRUP is a combination of Cyproheptadine and Tricholine Citrate, which belong to the groups of medicines called antihistamines and bile acid-binding agents, respectively. It is used to manage loss of appetite, weight loss and anorexia nervosa (an eating disorder). It is also used to manage weight gain in anti-tubercular and antiretroviral regimens.

In children, it is used for gaining weight, having an inadequate dietary intake or loss of appetite or suffering from anaemia, liver disease or digestive disorders. It is also used to manage allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis, migraine, asthma and hepatic disorders. Appetite loss is a state in which an individual has no desire to eat food, which leads to a deficiency of essential and non-essential nutrients that are required for the proper metabolism and growth of the body.

PRACTIN EN SYRUP is not recommended for use in patients who have or had angle-closure glaucoma, stenosing peptic ulcer, symptomatic prostatic hypertrophy, bladder neck obstruction or pyloroduodenal obstruction.
