Pactin 4mg Tab (Cyproheptadine) is an antihistamine with sedative properties. It blocks the action of histamine, a substance released by the body during allergic reactions. It also has antiserotonergic effects, which contribute to its appetite-stimulating properties and can be helpful in managing serotonin syndrome.
