Common questions about Appebon® Plus
Appebon Plus is a prescription appetite stimulant syrup for children with severe appetite loss. It contains Buclizine Hydrochloride — an ingredient that directly stimulates appetite — along with Iron, Lysine, and B-Complex to support overall growth and nutrition.
Yes. Appebon Plus is simply the new name for Appebon with Iron. The formulation remains the same — only the brand name has been updated.
The key difference is the ingredient Buclizine. Appebon Plus contains Buclizine Hydrochloride, which is a prescription-grade appetite stimulant used for children with severe appetite depression. Appebon Kid Syrup is a food supplement without Buclizine, intended for children with mild to moderate low appetite. Because of Buclizine, Appebon Plus requires a doctor's prescription while Appebon Kid Syrup does not.
Appebon Plus is for children whose appetite loss is severe — beyond what a food supplement can address. It should only be taken under a doctor's recommendation and prescription.
No. Appebon Plus is a prescription-only medicine because of its Buclizine content. A doctor's prescription is required before it can be dispensed.
Buclizine Hydrochloride is a clinically used ingredient that directly stimulates the appetite center, making it effective for children with severe or medically significant appetite depression. This is what makes Appebon Plus stronger than a standard food supplement.
Both products contain iron, but they use different iron compounds. Appebon Plus uses Ferrous Sulfate (10 mg elemental iron per 5 mL), while Appebon Kid Syrup uses Ferric Pyrophosphate (9 mg elemental iron per 5 mL). Ferrous Sulfate is more readily absorbed by the body, which is appropriate for children with more significant nutritional deficiencies.
Yes. Appebon Plus contains Vitamin B1 (10 mg), B6 (5 mg), and B12 (10 mcg) per 5 mL — significantly higher amounts than Appebon Kid Syrup — to support energy metabolism and overall nutrition in children with more severe deficiencies.
Because of its Buclizine content, Appebon Plus may cause drowsiness in some children. Other possible effects include dry mouth or mild sedation. Always follow your doctor's prescribed dosage and monitor your child when starting the medication.
That is a great question to raise with your doctor. Once severe appetite loss has been addressed, your doctor may recommend transitioning to Appebon Kid Syrup as a maintenance food supplement. Never stop or switch medications without consulting your doctor first.
