Abstract
:

Cyproheptadine, an antihistamine and antiserotonergic agent, is an appetite stimulant that is efficacious in promoting weight gain in children and adults with poor appetite. Despite numerous studies showing that cyproheptadine achieved positive outcomes, studies documenting its effectiveness on appetite are limited. This study evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of cyproheptadine in adults with poor appetite in South Korea.
