Definition
ChEBI: The product resulting from the formal oxidative coupling of position 5 of 5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene with position 4 of 1-methylpiperidine resulting in the formation of a double bond between the two fragments.
t is a sedating antihistamine with antimuscarinic and calcium-channel blocking actions. It is used (particularly as the hydrochloride sesquihydrate) for the relief of allergic conditions including rhinitis, conjunctivitis due to inhalant allergens and food
, urticaria and angioedema, and in pruritic skin disorders. Unlike other antihistamines, it is also a seratonin receptor antagonist, making it useful in conditions such as vascular headache and anorexia.
Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO)
Cyproheptadine, an antihistamine with anticholinergic and
serotonin-antagonist properties, was introduced in 1961 for the symptomatic relief
of allergy and was subsequently used as an appetite stimulant. In 1982 the drug
was prohibited in Bangladesh because of its misuse as an appetite stimulant due
to inappropriate promotion. Cyproheptadine remains widely available and the
current marketing policy of the major manufacturer requires that it should be used
as an appetite stimulant only under the supervision of a physician who should be
assured that adequate food is available.
