Cyproheptadine hydrochloride is an antihistamine in which antiserotonin activity has been demonstrated both in vivo and in vitro. As yet, however, there is no evidence that this action contributes to clinical therapeutic effects. Anticholinergic and sedative effects are observed. Cyproheptadine may be more effective than other H1 blockers in the management of cold urticaria.
