How Cypee Syrup works

Cypee Syrup is a combination of two appetite enhancers: Cyproheptadine and Peptone. Cyproheptadine works by reducing the effect of a chemical messenger (serotonin) in the hypothalamus, a part of the brain which regulates appetite. Peptone increases the production of a protein, cholecystokinin which controls appetite and food intake.

It can cause blurred vision and sleepiness, so do not drive and do not use tools or machines until you feel better.
