Cyproheptadine is an antihistamine used in cats to treat allergies, feline asthma, and stimulate appetite.
Form
Cyproheptadine is an antihistamine used in veterinary medicine, particularly for cats. It helps treat allergies, feline asthma, and acts as an appetite stimulant. Available in 4 mg tablets and an oral solution of 2 mg/5 ml, this medication is known for its appetite-stimulating effect, which may lead to polyphagia. Monitoring the animal’s weight during treatment is recommended. No known drug interactions have been reported, but a veterinary consultation is advised before use. It should be stored at room temperature, protected from light, and should not be frozen.
