[Python] How to get backlinks in certain pages in wikipedia in python?

import pywikibot as pw
backlinks_list = []

for item_backlink in pw.Page(pw.Site('en', 'wikipedia'), wikipedia_name).backlinks():
backlinks_list.append(item_backlink.title())


However, when I set the wikipedia_name = "Cyproheptadine" in the code, I get the following error.

pywikibot.exceptions.CircularRedirect: Page [[enibenzocycloheptene]] is a circular redirect.

I am happy to provide more details if needed.
