Can i use appetito tablets while breastfeeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: Appetito tablets claim to enhance weight gain specifically in the buttock and hip region. They contain the drug Cyproheptadine which is just an antihistamine used to treat or prevent symptoms of hay fever and other allergies. This should not be taken during breastfeeding as decreased respiratory rate and lethargy can occur in the infant.
