Normatone Syrup is taken orally.

Normatone Syrup comprises three active ingredients:

• Cyproheptadine (2 mg): This ingredient functions as a first-generation antihistamine with antiserotonergic properties. It targets the H1 histamine receptors and 5-HT2 serotonin receptors in the hypothalamus which regulate appetite. By blocking the action of serotonin, cyproheptadine enhances hunger and food intake.

• Tricholine citrate (275 mg): As a choline supplement and lipotropic agent, tricholine citrate is essential for the synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and phospholipids in cell membranes. It aids in mobilising and metabolising fat in the liver, working synergistically with cyproheptadine to enhance appetite and promote weight gain.

• Sorbitol (2 gm): Serving as a sugar alcohol, sorbitol not only sweetens and thickens the syrup base but also acts as an osmotic laxative. It brings water into the large intestine which prompts bowel movement this helps counter any constipation that may occur due to cyproheptadine.

• Store Normatone Syrup at a temperature below 30°C.

• Keep the bottle tightly closed to protect it from light and moisture exposure.

• Always place this medicine out of children's reach.

• If you're taking Normatone Syrup for appetite stimulation, maintain regular meal times to enhance the effect of the medicine. A balanced diet will help maximise benefits.

• Since cyproheptadine in Normatone Syrup can cause drowsiness, avoid activities like driving or operating machinery until you know how this medicine affects you.
