Megestrol

Catalog No.: A70104
Glucocorticoid/Progesterone Receptor Agoinst
Megestrol is an orally active glucocorticoid and progesterone receptor agonist. It is primarily utilized to stimulate appetite and promote weight gain in patients experiencing anorexia or cachexia, particularly in those with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Additionally, megestrol may produce effects similar to glucocorticoids and has the potential to elevate the risk of certain mental health disorders.
