CYPROHEPTADINE HYDROCHLORIDE TABLETS, USP
DESCRIPTION
Cyproheptadine HCl USP, is an antihistaminic and antiserotonergic
agent.
Cyproheptadine hydrochloride USP is a white to slightly yellowish
crystalline solid, with a molecular
weight of 350.89, which is soluble in water, freely soluble in
methanol, sparingly soluble in ethanol,
soluble in chloroform, and practically insoluble in ether. It is the
sesquihydrate of 4-(5_H_-
dibenzo_[a,d]_cyclohepten-5-ylidene)-1-methylpiperidine hydrochloride.
The molecular formula of the
anhydrous salt is C
H N•HCl and the structural formula of the anhydrous salt is:
C
H N• HCl M.W. 350.89
Cyproheptadine hydrochloride USP is available for oral administration
in 4 mg tablets. Inactive
ingredients include: lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate,
microcrystalline cellulose, and sodium
starch glycolate.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Cyproheptadine is a serotonin and histamine antagonist with
anticholinergic and sedative effects.
Antiserotonin and antihistamine drugs appear to compete with serotonin
and histamine, respectively, for
receptor sites.
PHARMACOKINETICS AND METABOLISM
After a single 4 mg oral dose of
C-labelled cyproheptadine HCl in normal subjects, given as tablets, 2
to 20% of the radioactivity was excreted in the stools. Only about 34%
of the stool radioactivity was
unchanged drug, corresponding to less than 5.7% of the dose. At least
40% of the administered
radioactivity was excreted in the urine. No detectable amounts of
unchanged drug were present in the
urine of patients on chronic 12 to 20 mg daily doses. The principle
metabolite found in human urine has
been identified as a quaternary ammonium glucuronide conjugate of
cyproheptadine. Elimination is
diminished in renal insufficiency.
