cyproheptadine and Hyperphagia

cyproheptadine has been researched along with Hyperphagia in 8 studies

Cyproheptadine: A serotonin antagonist and a histamine H1 blocker used as antipruritic, appetite stimulant, antiallergic, and for the post-gastrectomy dumping syndrome, etc.
cyproheptadine : The product resulting from the formal oxidative coupling of position 5 of 5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene with position 4 of 1-methylpiperidine resulting in the formation of a double bond between the two fragments. It is a sedating antihistamine with antimuscarinic and calcium-channel blocking actions. It is used (particularly as the hydrochloride sesquihydrate) for the relief of allergic conditions including rhinitis, conjunctivitis due to inhalant allergens and foods, urticaria and angioedema, and in pruritic skin disorders. Unlike other antihistamines, it is also a seratonin receptor antagonist, making it useful in conditions such as vascular headache and anorexia.

Hyperphagia: Ingestion of a greater than optimal quantity of food.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" To examine the possible contribution of serotonin (5-HT) and histamine (H) receptor blockade in antipsychotic-associated hyperphagia, rats were trained to drink a palatable, high-calorie fat emulsion (10% intralipid) during 30-min sessions and were tested following pretreatment with mepyramine (H1 receptor antagonist), metergoline (5-HT(1/2) receptor antagonist), cyproheptadine (H1 and 5-HT(2A/2B/2C) and muscarinic receptor antagonist), SB 242084 (5-HT2C receptor antagonist) and an SB 242084-mepyramine combination."3.72Serotonergic and histaminergic mechanisms involved in intralipid drinking? ( Clifton, PG; Hartfield, AW; Moore, NA, 2003)
"Cyproheptadine hydrochloride was administered orally at 0."2.67Failure of cyproheptadine hydrochloride as an antipruritic agent in allergic dogs: results of a double-blinded, placebo-controlled study. ( Cayatte, SM; Decker, GA; Miller, WH; Scott, DW, 1992)
"Increased research focusing on the eating disorders has put the clinician on firmer ground when choosing appropriate psychopharmacologic treatments."2.37Pharmacologic treatment of eating disorders. ( Gwirtsman, H; Jimerson, DC; Kaye, W; Weintraub, M, 1984)
