Cravihenz 160mg Tablet contains megestrol, a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone. It belongs to a group of medicines called progestins and is used to treat hormone-dependent cancers such as breast cancer and endometrial cancer. Beyond cancer treatment, Cravihenz is also prescribed to help patients regain appetite and manage weight loss caused by cancer or weakened immune systems. Your doctor will check your estrogen receptor status to confirm that your condition will benefit from this medication, especially if you have not responded well to other hormone therapies.
Key points
Cravihenz 160mg Tablet works by interacting with hormone receptors in cancer cells to slow their growth. In cancer patients with appetite loss, it reduces the breakdown of proteins in the body and stimulates appetite to help prevent further weight loss. The medication also reduces hormone production from the adrenal glands and ovaries in postmenopausal women, which helps control hormone-dependent cancers.
