Patients must be warned about engaging in activities that require a high level of mental alertness and motor coordination, such as driving a car or operating machinery.
Antihistamines are more likely to cause dizziness, sedation, and hypotension in elderly patients.

Cyproheptadine HCl During Pregnancy Tablets

Cyproheptadine HCl has been classified by the US FDA as Pregnancy Category B. Reproduction studies performed in animals with oral or subcutaneous doses up to 32 times the maximum recommended human oral dose and have revealed no evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the foetus due to Cyproheptadine HCl.

Two studies conducted in pregnant women, however, have not proved that Cyproheptadine HCl increases the risk of abnormalities when administered during the first, second and third trimesters of pregnancy. No teratogenic effects were observed in any of the newborns. Nevertheless, because the studies conducted in humans cannot rule out the possibility of any harm, Cyproheptadine HCl should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.

Cyproheptadine HCl During Nursing

It is not known whether Cyproheptadine HCl is excreted in human milk. Since many medicines are excreted in human milk, and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in lactating infants from Cyproheptadine HCl, a decision should be made whether to stop breast-feeding or to stop using Ciplactin Tablets (Generic Periactin), taking into account the importance of the medicine to the mother.
