Apetamin

Description

                          Apetamin

Apetamin contains the prescription medicine cyproheptadine, the amino acid lysine, and vitamins such thiamine (vitamin B1) and pyridoxine (vitamin B6). Cyproheptadine is a prescription antihistamine approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat moderate allergic responses and other allergy-related conditions. It is also used to stimulate hunger, reduce migraine headaches, and treat a potentially fatal medical condition known as serotonin syndrome. The human body uses lysine, an amino acid, to produce protein. Although vitamins are not the main ingredient in apetamin, the product is typically marketed as a “vitamin syrup” or “vitamin supplement”..

Does appetamin help you gain weight?

Side effects of cyproheptadine, the main ingredient in apetamin, include appetite stimulation and weight gain. Due to this, cyproheptadine has been used to treat patients with severe malnutrition and anorexia. Because of the expected weight gain, cyproheptadine is also misused by people who desire to obtain an hourglass-shaped or rounded physical appearance. In one study, women were eleven times more likely than men to misuse cyproheptadine for this purpose. Unfortunately, the optimal dose and duration of use of cyproheptadine for weight gain has not been rigorously studied. People who misuse cyproheptadine for weight gain may consume excessive amounts, which increases the risk of unwanted side effects.

What are the side effects of appetamin?

Drowsiness is a common adverse effect of apetamin’s primary component, cyproheptadine. The sleepiness is dose dependent, with more severe symptoms appearing at larger doses. Cyproheptadine use may also result in heart palpitations, urine retention, blurred vision, diarrhoea, and dry mouth. Individuals who take high quantities may experience confusion, seizures, or even death. Cyproheptadine can cause liver damage and failure. According to one account, a 40-year-old lady got lethargy, stomach pain, and jaundice after using apetamin for cosmetic enhancement. She was hospitalised and diagnosed with drug-induced liver impairment, necessitating long-term treatment with prescription corticosteroids and immune suppressants.
