Abi UP Syrup contains two medicines: cyproheptadine and tricholine citrate. Together, they stimulate the urge to eat (appetite). Cyproheptadine reduces the effect of serotonin (a chemical messenger) in the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that regulates appetite. Tricholine citrate also helps increase appetite and spares amino acids for muscle enhancement.
