Periactin, also known as Cyproheptadine, is a first-generation antihistamine with antiserotonergic, anticholinergic, and local anesthetic effects. It was invented in 1959 and first used in medicine in 1961.<\/span><\/p>\n

Periactin is an antihistamine used to treat allergy symptoms, including watery eyes, itchy eyes and nose, runny nose, hives, sneezing, and itching.<\/strong> The data suggests that it is useful for this purpose, although second-generation antihistamines like ketotifen and loratadine have demonstrated comparable efficacy with fewer side effects.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Periactin?<\/h2>\n

Periactin is an antihistamine that is often used as a migraines preventative therapy.<\/strong> In a 2013 research, a patient’s migraine frequency was significantly decreased after 7 to 10 days of initiating medication<\/a>. The average number of migraine episodes in these individuals before therapy was 8.7 times per month. However, this was reduced to 3.1 times per month three months later.<\/span><\/p>\n

It can also be used off-label in the therapy of periodic vomiting disorder in babies, with only previous studies supporting its usage. Periactin is well absorbed after oral administration and reaches peak plasma levels after 1-3 hours. The terminal half-life, when taken orally, is about 8 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

Periactin was studied in a small study as an add-on for people with schizophrenia who are stable and taking other medications.<\/strong> Several studies have been conducted to determine whether Cyproheptadine reduces sexual dysfunction caused by SSRIs and antipsychotics. It is being studied for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorders.<\/span><\/p>\n
