About Appyfast Syrup

Appyfast Syrup is used to treat symptoms of allergies such as itching, runny nose, sneezing, or watery eyes. Besides this, Appyfast Syrup is also used to treat certain allergic skin conditions such as urticaria (nettle rash triggered by a reaction to the medicine, food, or other irritants) and angioedema (painless swelling under the skin). An allergy occurs when foreign elements known as allergens attack and invade our body, causing histamine release (a chemical messenger) that causes swelling, inflammation, redness, itchiness, itchy/watery nose and throat, and watery eyes. Appyfast Syrup also stimulates appetite in children with appetite loss.

Appyfast Syrup contains cyproheptadine, which blocks the action of histamine, a substance responsible for allergic reactions. It helps relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, congestion, or stiffness.
