Aptimust Liquid
Aptimust Liquid is a combination medication containing Cyproheptadine, Tricholine Citrate, and Sorbitol. Cyproheptadine acts as an appetite stimulant by reducing the effect of chemical messengers (serotonin) in the hypothalamus that regulate appetite. Tricholine Citrate is a bile acid-binding agent that helps remove bile acids from the body, prompting the liver to produce more bile acids from cholesterol, which lowers cholesterol levels and improves liver function. Sorbitol acts as a syrup base and mild laxative to prevent constipation, a common side effect of cyproheptadine.
