Uses

Appetite stimulant

Benefits

In Allergic rhinitis: Aptimust blocks the histamine your body releases to an allergen, relieving the sneezing, runny or blocked nose and itchy, watery eyes that spoil your day.
In Hives and skin allergy: Aptimust calms the itching and brings down the raised, red weals of hives, so the skin settles and you can sleep.
In Itching: Aptimust relieves itching from an allergic reaction, an insect bite or a skin condition, which also stops the scratching that damages skin and keeps it inflamed.
In Allergic asthma: Aptimust reduces the allergic inflammation in the airways that triggers wheezing and tightness, so attacks are fewer and milder when it is taken alongside your inhaler.
In Liver disorders: Aptimust supports the liver's recovery and protects its cells from further damage, as part of the treatment your doctor has planned.
In Fatty liver: Aptimust supports the liver while the fat that has built up is reduced through weight loss and diet, which remain the main treatment.
In Support of liver function: Aptimust helps the liver carry out its work of processing nutrients and clearing waste while it recovers from illness or strain.
In Constipation: Aptimust softens the stool or encourages the bowel to move, relieving constipation and the straining, bloating and discomfort that go with it.
In Bowel preparation: Aptimust empties the bowel completely before a colonoscopy or surgery, so the doctor has a clear view and the procedure is safe.

How it works

Aptimust Syrup is a combination of three medicines: cyproheptadine, tricholine citrate, and sorbitol. It is used to improve appetite. Cyproheptadine is an appetite stimulant that works by reducing the effect of serotonin, a chemical messenger in the hypothalamus that regulates appetite. Tricholine citrate is a lipotropic agent that helps remove fat from the liver and supports healthy liver function, which can improve digestion and appetite. Sorbitol acts as a syrup base and also works as an osmotic laxative to relieve constipation.
