Target Information
Cyproheptadine is an antihistamine drug that is sometimes illegally used in aquaculture to stimulate appetite and promote growth in fish, such as carp and eels. This practice is banned in many countries due to concerns about drug residues in food products. When consumed by humans, these residues can cause side effects like drowsiness, dizziness, and other nervous system issues. Therefore, monitoring and controlling for cyproheptadine residues are important aspects of ensuring the safety of aquatic food products.
