Triactin 4Mg 20 Tab

Triactin Tablets

Description:

Triactin Tablets are an oral prescription medicine containing cyproheptadine, a first-generation antihistamine with additional appetite-stimulating properties. They are primarily used to manage allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis and urticaria, and are also commonly prescribed as an appetite stimulant to support weight gain in underweight individuals when recommended by a healthcare professional. Triactin works by blocking histamine (H1), serotonin (5-HT2) receptors, and exhibiting mild anticholinergic and sedative effects, helping relieve allergy symptoms and promote increased appetite.

Indications:

• Management of allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis (sneezing, runny nose, itching, watery eyes).
• Relief of symptoms of chronic and acute urticaria (hives), pruritus (itching), and other histamine-mediated allergic reactions.
• Adjunctive therapy in certain types of drug-induced or food-related allergic reactions, as directed by a physician.
• Appetite stimulant in patients with poor appetite and unintended weight loss, when prescribed by a healthcare provider.
• May be used in migraine prophylaxis and certain serotonin-related conditions under specialist supervision (off-label, physician-directed use).

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Cyproheptadine hydrochloride – concentration per tablet is not specified in the available product information. Exact mg strength is unavailable.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use Triactin Tablets exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
• Typical adult dosing for allergy relief or appetite stimulation varies depending on indication and patient factors; since exact tablet strength is not provided, your physician will determine the appropriate dose and frequency.
• Tablets are usually taken orally with a glass of water. They may be taken with or without food; taking with food can help reduce stomach discomfort.
• Take the medicine at the same times each day to maintain consistent levels in the body.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• Do not use in children unless specifically prescribed and supervised by a pediatrician, as dosage must be carefully adjusted by weight and age.
• Do not stop treatment abruptly without consulting your doctor, especially if used regularly for appetite stimulation or chronic allergy management.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps relieve common allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itching, and watery eyes by blocking H1 histamine receptors.
• Reduces skin itching, redness, and hives associated with urticaria and other allergic skin reactions.
• Acts as an appetite stimulant, supporting increased food intake and weight gain in patients with poor appetite when used under medical supervision.
• Provides mild sedative effects that may help improve comfort and rest in patients with severe itching or nighttime allergy symptoms.
• Serotonin (5-HT2) receptor antagonism may offer additional benefit in certain migraine or serotonin-related conditions, as directed by a specialist.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to cyproheptadine or any of the tablet components.
• Contraindicated in newborns and premature infants due to increased risk of serious side effects.
• Contraindicated in patients receiving monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or who have recently stopped MAOIs, due to risk of severe interactions.
• Use with caution in patients with glaucoma, urinary retention, prostatic hypertrophy, peptic ulcer, pyloroduodenal obstruction, or bladder neck obstruction because of anticholinergic effects.
• May cause drowsiness and impair mental or physical abilities; avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing tasks requiring alertness until you know how the medicine affects you.
• Avoid alcohol and other central nervous system depressants as they can increase drowsiness and sedation.
• Use with caution in elderly patients, as they may be more sensitive to sedative and anticholinergic effects.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or planning pregnancy. Cyproheptadine should be used in pregnancy only if clearly needed and prescribed.
• Consult your doctor before use if breastfeeding, as antihistamines may pass into breast milk and affect the infant.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have liver disease, kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, asthma, or increased intraocular pressure.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without proper medical supervision.
• Keep out of reach of children.
