EPTI SYRUP 120ML

Overview & Mechanism of Action

• Epti Syrup (120ml bottle) is a combined orexigenic (appetite-stimulating) and nutritional formulation designed to reverse poor appetite and support anabolic weight gain:
• Central Appetite Stimulation (Cyproheptadine HCl): Acts as a potent antagonist at serotonin receptors in the appetite-regulating center of the hypothalamus, dampening satiety signals and prompting increased caloric intake.
• Essential Amino Acid & Growth Support (L-Lysine): Provides L-Lysine, an essential amino acid necessary for protein synthesis, tissue repair, collagen formation, and skeletal growth in growing children and recovering adults.
• Metabolic & Energy Coenzymes (B-Complex Vitamins): Delivers key B-vitamins (Thiamine, Riboflavin, Pyridoxine, and Nicotinamide) that facilitate efficient carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism, converting increased dietary intake into cellular energy.

Clinical Indications

• Epti Syrup 120ml is indicated for:
• Management of loss of appetite (anorexia) of unknown origin, post-illness appetite suppression, or psychological food aversion
• Promoting healthy weight gain and nutritional recovery during convalescence following surgery, prolonged illness, or severe infections
• Adjunctive dietary support for children experiencing failure to thrive, underweight growth curves, or inadequate dietary protein intake
