Tres-Orix Forte Syrup 100ml is a vitamin-fortified nutritional supplement and appetite stimulant used to treat a lack of appetite (anorexia) and promote healthy weight gain. It is widely used for both children and adults who struggle with nutritional deficiencies, growth delays, or weight loss following a medical illness.
Active Ingredients and Mechanism
Each 5ml of the syrup contains a targeted blend of an appetite booster, core amino acids, and vital B-vitamins:
-
Cyproheptadine Orotate (1.5mg): An antihistamine that works on the central nervous system to stimulate the brain's hunger signals and increase the physiological desire to eat.
-
Carnitine Hydrochloride (150mg) & Lysine Hydrochloride (150mg): Essential amino acids that support protein synthesis, accelerate fatty acid metabolism, and assist the body in converting food into clean cellular energy efficiently.
-
Vitamins B1, B6, and B12: Essential micronutrients that improve overall metabolic function, protect nerve health, and are vital for the formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin.
Common Uses
-
Anorexia & Appetite Loss: Reverses severe loss of appetite in adults, adolescents, and children.
-
Post-Illness Recovery: Aids in restoring lost weight and metabolic energy following a severe infection or chronic illness.
-
Growth Support: Used to manage constitutional thinness, nutritional deficiencies, and growth retardation in developing children.
