I'm not too sure about the strength of Cypon Drops (does it contain cyproheptadine 1.5mg and Tricholine citrate 55mg in a ML)? If yes then the dose is within the guidelines.
Although a dose guideline is not given for anorexia in a child that young I am assuming if a pediatrician prescribed that dose then it should be fine.
