DescriptionCyproheptadine is a potent competitive antagonist of both serotonin and histamine receptors.[L32474] It is used primarily to treat allergic symptoms, though it is perhaps more notable for its use in appetite stimulation[L32519] and its off-label use in the treatment of serotonin syndrome.[A231274]
