A member asked:

For educational purposes, i look up any meds i take. which cytochrome p450 enzymes metabolize the first-gen antihistamine periactin (cyproheptadine hydrochloride)? or are effected?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cyproheptadine: Aromatic ring hydroxylation ( followed by glucuronide conjugation), and n-demethylation, end heterocyclic ring oxidation were shown to occur in man. The principal metabolite, however, was identified tentatively as a quaternary ammonium. Glucuronide-like conjugate of cyproheptadine. The exact mechanisms for the glucuronidation are not entirely clear.
