Good morning sir, My mother is aged about 80 years. She is suffering from loss of appetite since a week. Can she take cypon syrup for increasing her appetite ? Please suggest. For your information I would mention that she is a patient of blood pressure and takes Ditide - 1 tab and Amlodac 1 and 1/2 daily. Please advise.

hi there, I think you can give her cypon syrup for increasing her appetite.Besides that look out for any symptoms of depression or other illness as loss appetite may present with some underlying cause, which should not be overlooked. Also if she is receiving some kind of special diet then you need to get some variation in it as monotonous food can also lead to loss of appetite. Do treat the cause as well as the symptom. Take care.
