Appetite medication for cancer patients?!
Question: Appetite medication for cancer patients!?
My has cancer and is taking both chemo and raiation!. She has no appetite as a result!. Are there any OTC or BTC medicines she can take to have an appetite---other than marijuana!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
I take megace syrup!. I'm sure if she asked for it, the onc would give it to her!. Megace doesn't work right away on me though, I have to take it the day before and then usually at 4AM the next day I wake up so hungry!.
I went from 140 down to 103!. I'm not taking megace anymore because I feel like I have a healthier appetite now!. But megace is probably responsible for 10 of the 15 pounds I've put on!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes!. Marinol, Megace, Oxandrolone, Oxymetholone, and the protease inhibitors!. But she would need a medical evaluation to see if she fit criteria for any of these!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
