Oraxin Syrup
Oraxin Syrup is a combination of Cyproheptadine, Tricholine Citrate, and Sorbitol. Cyproheptadine acts as an appetite stimulant by reducing the activity of serotonin in the hypothalamus. Tricholine Citrate helps deplete bile acids, prompting the liver to convert cholesterol into bile acids, thereby supporting liver health and metabolism. Sorbitol serves as a sweetening syrup base and helps prevent constipation through its osmotic laxative effect.
