Cyptain is cyproheptadine, an appetite stimulant that's commonly prescribed in pregnancy for poor appetite or mild nausea. It's generally considered safe when a doctor prescribes it, knowing your pregnancy stage. Choliv L is usually a liver tonic given for digestion and appetite, and it's often paired with syrups like this one.
Next Steps
Continue both syrups the way your doctor prescribed them for your 18-week pregnancy. Mention how your appetite and energy are doing at your next antenatal visit.
Health Tips
Stop either syrup and consult your obstetrician right away if you notice unusual drowsiness, a rash or any swelling.
