Oraxin Drops 10 ml

ORAXIN DROPS is an appetite stimulant medicine. It is used to increase hunger in children. It helps treat anorexia in underweight children who have inadequate dietary intake. Anorexia (loss of appetite) is defined as a symptom of not feeling hungry or not having the desire to eat food. ORAXIN DROPS helps treat such a condition in underweight children who have an inadequate dietary intake.

ORAXIN DROPS is a combination medicine containing Cyproheptadine hydrochloride (antihistamine) and Tricholine citrate (bile acid-binding agent). Cyproheptadine works by inhibiting the effect of a chemical messenger (serotonin), thereby helping to stimulate the appetite. Tricholine works by removing excess bile acid production. The liver then produces more bile acid utilizing more cholesterol in this process, which in turn lowers the fat content in the child's body.

ORAXIN DROPS may cause certain side effects in your child, such as dry mouth, drowsiness, headache, blurred vision, and confusion. These side effects do not require medical attention. However, if these side effects worsen, please consult your paediatrician. ORAXIN DROPS should be given as advised by your doctor. Do not give more than the prescribed dose of the medicine to the child. ORAXIN DROPS should be given 30 minutes before food. The dose of the medicine will be decided by your pediatrician, depending on your child’s condition.

Keep your doctor informed about your child’s health condition, including his current medications and medical history, to rule out any side effects/interactions. Before administration, inform your paediatrician if your child has any liver or kidney disease or asthma.
