Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Cypon syrup to be used only when there is severe loss of appetite. It contains cyrproheptadine having good side effect of drowsiness. The moment you stop this syrup appetite vanishes.
It will be advisable to go for good multivitamin syrup and iron syrup to get some genuine increase in appetite.
Hope the query is answered. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Irshad H Naqvi
