About Appyfast Syrup

Appyfast Syrup belongs to the class of medication called 'anti-allergic' and 'anti serotonin' drugs primarily 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, thereby causing histamine release (a chemical messenger) that causes swelling, inflammation, redness, itchiness, itchy/watery nose and throat, and watery eyes.

Appyfast Syrup contains Cyproheptadine, which works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It helps relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness. Appyfast Syrup has an appetite-stimulating effect and stimulates hunger in patients with appetite loss.

Take Appyfast Syrup as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Appyfast Syrup for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition.
