Megpro 160mg Tablet contains Megestrol, a synthetic derivative of the naturally occurring hormone progesterone. It belongs to a class of medications known as progestogens and is primarily used in the management of hormone-dependent breast cancer in patients whose disease has advanced despite conventional anti-estrogen therapy. Before prescribing this medication, your physician may assess the estrogen receptor (ER) status to determine if the cancer is driven by estrogen. In addition to its use in breast cancer, Megpro 160mg Tablet is also indicated for the treatment of cachexia (muscle wasting), anorexia (loss of appetite), and unexplained weight loss in patients with cancer or weakened immune systems. Megpro 160 uses extend beyond oncology. It helps improve appetite and restore body weight in individuals experiencing severe malnutrition due to chronic conditions. While this medication is generally well-tolerated, caution is advised in individuals with a history of thrombosis, diabetes, or adrenal insufficiency. Common side effects may include weight gain, fluid retention, and fatigue. It is essential to use this medication under the supervision of a healthcare provider, as prolonged use may lead to hormonal imbalances. Patients taking Megpro tablets should be aware of potential contraindications, particularly in those with known hypersensitivity to Megestrol or a history of thromboembolic disorders. Proper monitoring during treatment helps mitigate the risk of adverse effects and ensures optimal therapeutic outcomes.
Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient
Uses
• Treatment of hormone-dependent breast cancer in advanced or recurrent stages.
• Management of endometrial cancer in certain cases.
• Treatment of cachexia (muscle wasting), anorexia (loss of appetite), and unexplained weight loss in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or cancer.
• Supportive therapy to improve nutritional status and enhance quality of life in individuals with chronic debilitating conditions.
Benefits
Megpro 160mg Tablet works by mimicking the actions of natural progesterone, a hormone involved in regulating the growth of certain tissues. It slows the progression of hormone-sensitive cancers, such as breast and endometrial cancer, by inhibiting the effects of estrogen. This action prevents the cancer cells from multiplying and spreading.

How To Use

The typical dosage for treating breast or endometrial cancer is 160 mg per day, which may be administered as a single dose or divided into smaller doses based on medical advice. It can be taken with or without food, but taking it at the same time each day ensures consistent absorption. The tablet should be swallowed whole with water, without crushing or breaking it. If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as possible unless it is close to the next scheduled dose. Dosage adjustments may be required depending on the patient’s response and medical condition.
