I always prefer natural ways to boost my appetite, like light morning walks and fresh fruits, which my doctor allowed. Taking prescription medicines like cyproheptadine is something only your doctor should decide after checking your health. Please consult them before taking it.
I know how hard it is when you can't eat anything because of nausea or poor appetite, but please do not take cyproheptadine without asking your gynac. Any medicine you take right now goes to the baby too, so always get your doctor's green light first.
Didi, please don't take any such medicines on your own during this sensitive time. It is always safest to show the medicine to your doctor first and ask if it's okay for the baby. Ghar ke nuskhe and simple food are much safer.
I am in my second trimester and I get so anxious about even taking a basic paracetamol! Has anyone else been prescribed cyproheptadine by their doctor? I would definitely suggest asking your gynac before taking even a single tablet.
As a rule of thumb, you should never self-medicate during pregnancy, especially with drugs like cyproheptadine. Call your clinic or drop a quick WhatsApp message to your gynecologist's team to confirm. It takes just two minutes and keeps you and your baby safe.
