Function
1.Cyproheptadine HCL is a piperidine antihistamine.
2.Cyproheptadine HCl does not prevent the release of histamine but rather competes with free histamine for binding at HA-receptor sites.
3.Cyproheptadine HCL also competes with serotonin at receptor sites in smooth muscle in the intestines and other locations.
4.Cyproheptadine HCL also has been used to counter vascular headaches, which many believe are caused by changes in serotonin activity, however it is unclear how Cyproheptadine exerts a beneficial effect on this condition.
