Sirop Apetamin

Apetamin Overview

Apetamin is an appetite-stimulating, weight-gain supplement manufactured by the Indian pharmaceutical company TIL Healthcare. It is sold primarily in syrup form and contains the following key ingredients:

• Cyproheptadine – an antihistamine and the primary active ingredient, known to stimulate appetite. However, it is also classified as a hepatotoxin (a substance that can cause liver damage).

• L-Lysine – an essential amino acid.

• Vitamins – typically includes a blend of B-complex and other supportive nutrients.

Medical and Legal Status

• Cyproheptadine, while medically used in some countries, is associated with side effects such as increased appetite, drowsiness, and fatigue.

• Apetamin is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).

• It is illegal to sell Apetamin in many countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom.

Concerns and Misuse

Despite its unapproved and illegal status in many regions, Apetamin is widely promoted on social media platforms, often marketed as a shortcut to achieving an exaggerated "curvy" body shape that aligns with certain beauty trends. This form of unauthorized marketing and illegal distribution raises serious public health concerns, including:

• Unregulated use

• Potential liver toxicity

• Adverse side effects

• Lack of medical oversight
