Cyproheptadine

[markosheehan]

Does anyone know the safety of cyproheptadine? Is it toxic for your liver? It reduces growth hormone. Would this make you smaller

Liver toxicity has occurred in a few patients but its not very common. Im not super educated on growth hormones, but i believe that suppressing them when you are older (any age after puberty, say ~20yo) shouldnt effect you too much.

Are you talking about the antihistamine? Don't exceed the recommended dose and talk to your doctor if you have safety concerns.

More significantly, it stimulates appetite, which is why it's been used to enhance growth in children.
