Poor Appetite!

2021-01-15 23:34:25
Dear Sir /Mam , Greetings! Please note that my daughter is 2.6 yrs old today and has very poor appetite. Her Paediatrician has prescribed Oraxin Syrup 5 ml - OD for a month ( Cyproheptadine hydrochloride & Tricholine citrate) to her to increase her appetite. I just wish to know for how long can I give her this medicine because one or two meals she eats properly after taking this medicine. Regards Rishika
