Clinical context
Where Megestrol Acetate fits in practice
Megestrol acetate is a synthetic derivative of progesterone. At the 160 mg strength it is a specialist prescription: indications, dose and duration follow the package insert and the treating oncologist’s or gynae-oncologist’s judgement.
The prescriber reviews thromboembolic history and liver function before and during therapy. The tablet is swallowed whole and must not be broken, chewed or crushed.
Supply usually runs through hospital, oncology-centre and institutional pharmacies, and the chemists close to those centres, rather than through general retail.
How it is used
A high-strength progestational agent prescribed by specialists — including oncologists and gynae-oncologists — strictly as per the approved package insert. Used only under specialist supervision.
