Carcinoid tumors secrete serotonin (5-HT) and other vasoactive substances, causing symptoms like flushing, diarrhea, and bronchospasm. Cyproheptadine is a serotonin (5-HT2) receptor antagonist and also has antihistaminic (H1) and anticholinergic properties. By blocking serotonin receptors, it reduces the effects of excess serotonin, helping to control symptoms such as flushing and diarrhea.
