About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Megestrong 40 Tablet contains Megestrol acetate 40 mg, a synthetic progestin used primarily for its antineoplastic and appetite-stimulating properties. It is indicated for the treatment of advanced breast cancer and endometrial carcinoma, particularly in patients who are refractory to standard therapies. Megestrol exerts its therapeutic effects by modulating hormonal activity, thereby inhibiting tumor growth in hormone-sensitive malignancies. Additionally, Megestrong 40 is employed to manage anorexia, cachexia, or significant weight loss in patients with chronic illnesses such as cancer or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), promoting appetite stimulation and weight gain. The tablet should be administered orally, with dosage and duration tailored according to the clinical condition and patient response. Common adverse effects may include nausea, vomiting, edema, thromboembolic events, and alterations in glucose metabolism; therefore, monitoring is advised during therapy. Contraindications include known hypersensitivity to Megestrol or any component of the formulation, and caution is warranted in patients with a history of thromboembolic disorders. Megestrong 40 Tablet should be used under strict medical supervision to optimize therapeutic outcomes and minimize potential risks.
