Cyproheptadine is a medication often used to stimulate appetite in cats, or to treat specific allergic or neurologic conditions in pets. **What to Expect:** * **Sedation:** Your pet may become sleepy or lethargic. This is the most common side effect. * **Dry Mouth:** You may notice your pet smacking their lips or drinking more water due to dry mucous membranes. **Important Warnings:** * **The "Zoomies" (Paradoxical Agitation):** Some cats react oppositely to this medication and become highly agitated, vocal, or hyperactive. **Contact your veterinarian** if this occurs, as the dose may need to be lowered or stopped. * **Seek Immediate Care If:** Your cat becomes profoundly weak, unresponsive, or develops pale gums. * **Horses:** May show mild depression, loss of appetite, or lethargy. * **Missed Doses:** If you miss a dose, give it when you remember, but never give two doses at once to catch up.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。
