Can periactin (cyproheptadine hydrochloride) relief toothaches?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not for pain: Periactin (cyproheptadine hydrochloride) is not used to relieve pain. It is an antihistamine used to control itching, hives, hay fever and other allergic reactions. Could you be thinking about paracetamol? That's another name for acetaminophen.

No: Periactin (cyproheptadine hydrochloride) is an antihistamine. It is used sometimes off label to treat cluster headaches or migraine headaches but not for tooth aches. It is mainly used to treat seasonal allergies.
