fisrt, you must know,
all drugs have side effects, try reading the little leaflet in the drug pack and you'll probably get scared of using any drug in your lifetime!
That being said, its usually not neccesary to induce appetite in children,. if they are not eating , find out why, it may be illnesses, anxiety, attention deficit, habits, food preferences etc and infact most kids wont require multivitamins if they eat right,more fruits and less junk,
i have found out the nigerians love for medications that make them 'stronger'. Especially blood tonics, you must know that Iron absorption is regulated and you only absorb when you need it, so if you arent anemic, taking blood tonic is just a waste as you'll pass out all you swallow in your black feces,
By the way, take your kid to a pediatrician and have him/her checked out
all the best

That sounds scaring. I normally give my  3-year old son cypri gold syrup( ie when he looses his appetite). Does that mean i should stop it? What's the best multi- vitamin syrup for him?
Thanks.

Cypron and Cypri-gold are the same thing.
The active ingredient being 4mg cyproheptadine.
Cyproheptadine is histamine receptor blokcer, it also blocks dopamine receptors in sensitive users.
The user feels extremely hungry because the part of the brain known as the 'satiety' centre is blocked. You end up eating nearly 3 times your daily amount of food.

Cyproheptadine also causes the body to retain water, this also add to the gain in size and weight. Other side effects are drowsiness and bloating of the breasts. It is not advisable to rely on cypron alone to gain weight.

If you must successfully use Cypri gold, use it with an AMINO ACID complex like Amino 3000 and a balanced diet.
