Hi.
Can I give cyproheptadine HCl to my 8-year old son to stimulate his appetite? If so, what is the smallest dosage I could give him? I've tried all brands of vitamins on him but had no effect. Thanks.

 Hello,
I would not give this to a child unless advised by your child's doctor. If appetite is a problem, you should have him evaluated by the pediatrician. There are safe appetite stimulants but they should only be used on the doctor's advice.
Best wishes.
