Hysin Syrup is used to treat Anorexia (loss of appetite). It contains Cyproheptadine hydrochloride (antihistamine) and Tricholine citrate (bile acid-binding agent). Cyproheptadine works by inhibiting the effect of a chemical messenger (serotonin), thereby helping to stimulate the appetite. Tricholine works by removing excess bile acid production. The liver then produces more bile acid utilizing more cholesterol in this process, which in turn lowers the fat content in the child's body.

About Hysin Syrup

Hysin Syrup is a paediatric medicine used to help children who have a poor appetite or are struggling to gain weight. It is commonly prescribed to treat undernutrition, constant loss of appetite, and growth issues in children. By encouraging a healthy desire to eat, this medicine helps children get the essential nutrients their growing bodies need.

For the best results, it is important to give Hysin Syrup regularly and at the same time every day as directed by your doctor. You can give this medicine to your child either with or without food. Along with this medicine, offering small, frequent meals and creating a relaxed eating environment can help improve your child's eating habits.

While taking Hysin Syrup , some children may experience mild side effects like drowsiness or dry mouth. Most of these symptoms are harmless and go away on their own, but you should consult your doctor immediately if you notice any unusual behaviour or severe reactions.

Talk to your doctor before starting this medicine if your child has any pre-existing health conditions, especially breathing issues like asthma. Do not give this medicine to children under 2 years of age unless specifically prescribed by a paediatrician. It is contraindicated in newborns and premature infants, and should also be avoided in children with a known allergy to any of its ingredients.

Since this medicine can cause sleepiness, it should not be given alongside other medicines that cause drowsiness, such as cold or allergy syrups, because this can make your child overly sleepy. If this medicine is being considered for teenagers who are pregnant or breastfeeding, always consult a doctor first.

Uses of Hysin Syrup

Hysin Syrup is used to treat undernutrition, constant loss of appetite, and growth issues in children. The detailed uses of Hysin Syrup are as follows:

  • Loss of appetite: It helps stimulate hunger in picky eaters or children who show a lack of interest in food, encouraging them to eat sufficient portions.
  • Undernutrition and poor weight gain: It assists children who are underweight to consume more calories and reach their healthy growth milestones.
  • Digestive sluggishness: It supports better digestion, making it easier for the child's body to process and utilise nutrients from their daily diet.

Key Benefits

Hysin Syrup helps restore a child's natural drive to eat, turning stressful mealtimes into positive experiences for both parents and children. By naturally increasing hunger, it ensures that your child receives the essential vitamins, minerals, and calories required for healthy physical and mental development. The key benefits your child may experience include:

  • Faster recovery: Helps children regain strength and lost weight more quickly after recovering from an illness.
  • Consistent energy levels: Improved nutrient absorption ensures your child has the stamina needed for daily play and learning.
  • Comfortable digestion: Helps prevent that heavy, overfull feeling, allowing your child to enjoy their meals without stomach discomfort.
     
Side effects of Hysin Syrup 200 ml
  • Get enough sleep. Maintain a regular sleep cycle.
  • Eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly.
  • Manage stress with yoga or meditation.
  • Limit alcohol and caffeine.
  • Avoid driving or operating machinery unless you are alert.

Directions for Use

  • Hysin Syrup can be administered with or without food, or as directed by the doctor.
  • Follow your doctor’s instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safety.
  • Administer the prescribed dose to the child using the measuring cup/dosing syringe/dropper.
  • Shake well before use.

How Hysin Syrup Works

Hysin Syrup contains two active ingredients that work together to help improve your child's appetite and digestion. The first active ingredient, cyproheptadine, helps stimulate appetite by blocking the actions of certain natural brain chemicals, particularly serotonin and histamine, that can suppress appetite. This makes children feel hungrier and encourages them to eat more, helping improve calorie intake and weight gain when prescribed by a doctor. The second active ingredient, tricholine citrate, is a lipotropic agent that helps support the normal metabolism and transport of fats in the liver. It helps prevent excessive fat build-up in the liver and supports healthy fat metabolism. Although it supports normal liver function, it should not be described as a general stimulant of digestive fluids, and its primary role is to support lipid metabolism rather than directly improving digestion.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Offer small, frequent meals rather than three heavy meals to prevent your child from feeling overwhelmed by large portions.
  • Create a calm, distraction-free eating environment by turning off televisions and screens during mealtimes.
  • Include calorie-dense, healthy foods like cheese, whole milk, nut butters, and avocados in their snacks.
  • Avoid giving your child juices, sodas, or large amounts of water right before a meal, as this can temporarily fill their stomach and reduce hunger.
