Periactin 4mg Tablets are used to treat:
  • Skin allergies with itchiness, swelling, or red skin, eczema or nettle rash.
  • Itchiness of chicken pox and reactions to insect bites and stings.
  • Sneezing, watery eyes and blocked or runny nose caused by an allergy such as hayfever (allergic rhinitis).
  • Conjunctivitis caused by an allergy - with red, watery, inflamed eyes.
  • Migraine and other similar headaches.
These conditions cause too much histamine and serotonin to be produced in the body. Periactin 4mg Tablets contain the active ingredient cyproheptadine, an antihistamine that stops the unwanted effects of histamine and seratonin to relieve the symptoms that too much of these substances causes.  

For allergies
  • Adults and children over 14 years: Start with 1 tablet three times a day. Most patients need 3-4 tablets a day. Do not take more than 8 tablets a day.
  • Children aged 7-14 years: The usual dose is 1 tablet two or three times a day as needed. If you need to give an extra dose, give it at bedtime. Do not give more than 4 tablets a day.
  • Children aged 2-6 years: The usual dose is half a tablet two or three times a day. If you need to give an extra dose, give it at bedtime. Do not give more than 3 tablets a day.
For migraine
  • Take 1 tablet when you are getting the migraine
  • Take another one, if needed, after 30 minutes.
  • Then take 1 tablet every 4-6 hours to maintain relief.
  • Do not take more than 2 tablets in any 4-6 hour period.
Children under 2 years
  • Do not give Periactin to children under 2 years of age.

  • Other ingredients: Calcium Hydrogen Phosphate E341, Lactose, Magnesium Stearate E572, Potato Starch, Pregelatinised Maize Starch.

  • Do not drive or use any tools or machines while taking this medicine. This is because Periactin can make you sleepy.
