What is cyproheptadine used for in pets?

Veterinarians commonly prescribe cyproheptadine to help stimulate appetite in cats and to help manage allergic itching and other histamine-related symptoms in cats and dogs.

How soon might cyproheptadine help my cat’s appetite?

Response time varies by pet and condition. Some cats may show increased interest in food after starting therapy, but follow your veterinarian’s guidance and check in with them if you have concerns about your pet’s progress.

Can I open or split the cyproheptadine capsule?

Only if your veterinarian specifically instructs you to. Compounded capsules are intended to be given as prepared, and altering them can affect dose accuracy.

What are possible side effects of cyproheptadine in pets?

Possible effects may include drowsiness or sedation, dry mouth, gastrointestinal upset, or increased appetite. Less commonly, some pets may show restlessness or excitement. Contact your veterinarian if you notice worrisome or persistent side effects.

What if I miss a dose?

Give the dose when you remember unless it is close to the next scheduled dose. Do not give extra capsules to make up for a missed dose. If you are unsure what to do, ask your veterinarian.

Can cyproheptadine be given with other medications?

Often it can be used with other therapies, but drug interactions are possible. Always inform your veterinarian about all medications and supplements your pet is taking.

How should I store these compounded capsules?

Store at room temperature in a dry place, protected from light and moisture, and keep out of reach of children and other animals. Follow any additional storage instructions provided with your prescription.
