Cytodine 2 MG Syrup 200 ML contains cyproheptadine (2 mg), which exerts its action on the body in the following ways:

• Antagonises Histamine H1 Receptors: Cyproheptadine blocks histamine H1 receptors within your body. Histamine plays a vital role in causing allergic symptoms; when blocked by cyproheptadine, these symptoms are reduced.

• Antagonises Serotonin 5-HT2 Receptors: Cyproheptadine also blocks serotonin 5-HT2 receptors. Serotonin is crucial in allergy manifestation; hence, blocking its receptors helps control allergy symptoms.

• Exhibits Anticholinergic Activity: The anticholinergic activity of cyproheptadine contributes to its anti-allergy and drying effects.

• Acts against Muscarinic Receptors: Cyproheptadine also has an antagonistic effect on muscarinic receptors, aiding in the reduction of allergic reactions.

• If you're managing allergic reactions with Cytodine 2 MG Syrup 200 ML, try to identify and avoid potential allergens in your diet, such as dairy, gluten, or certain fruits.
