Apimed Oral Drops is a combination of two active medicines, cyproheptadine and tricholine citrate. Together, these medicines help stimulate appetite (hunger) in children. It is also given to treat allergic conditions in children.
Apimed Oral Drops contains two medicines, cyproheptadine and tricholine citrate. Together, they stimulate the urge to eat (appetite).
