| Popis: | Cyproheptadine is an antihistamine that is also used as appetite stimulant in children. We report a three-year old who developed anticholinergic syndrome following accidental ingestion of a large dose of cyproheptadine. The child was conservatively managed, CC –BY 4.0 and he recovered fully with no immediate sequelae. We report this case to create awareness on the harmful effects of cyproheptadine ingestion. |
