Mechanism of Action
Cyproheptadine competes with free histamine for binding at ha-receptor sites. This antagonizes the effects of histamine on ha-receptors, leading to a reduction of the negative symptoms brought on by histamine ha-receptor binding. Cyproheptadine also competes with serotonin at receptor sites in smooth muscle in the intestines and other locations. Antagonism of serotonin on the appetite center of the hypothalamus may account for cyproheptadine's ability to stimulate appetite
