What is Megestrol Acetate?
Megestrol Acetate is a hormone treatment that stimulates the appetite for patients who are malnourished or who have lost a dangerous amount of weight due to illness (wasting syndrome). Megestrol Acetate is man-made progesterone, a female hormone. It is unclear how Megestrol Acetate stimulates appetite, but the weight gain is primarily due to increases in the body's fat stores rather than lean tissues, such as muscle.
Megestrol Acetate is also used to treat breast and endometrial cancer (cancer of the uterus's inner lining). Megestrol Acetate decreases the body's production of female hormones that certain cancers need to grow.
Megestrol Acetate is taken as an oral suspension. Megestrol Acetate stimulates appetite on the first or second day it's taken.
