A member asked:

Is it safe to take cipla actin during pregnancy to help boost appetite? other supplements are not helping.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Category B: The studies of this drug (cyproheptadine) show no negative effects in any trimester with enough data to consider it a relatively safe drug. (Category B) to be considered any safer we would broader studies over time & that is unlikely given the wide availability & past safe results with the drug at regular doses.
