But it is not safe to give him cyproheptadine. At 71, and with his history of prostate problems, cyproheptadine poses a significant risk. This medication can worsen urinary retention (difficulty urinating) and cause drowsiness or confusion, which increases his risk of falls. Additionally, his kidney function and his complex daily medications for blood pressure and diabetes require extra caution. Please avoid starting this medication. I highly recommend consulting his doctor to safely explore other ways to improve his appetite and address the underlying cause.
