Unistrol 160mg Tablet contains megestrol, a synthetic progestin (hormone-like medication) used to treat hormone-dependent cancers and manage serious side effects of advanced cancer. It works by blocking hormones that fuel certain types of cancer growth, particularly breast cancer and endometrial cancer. Unistrol 160mg is also prescribed to help patients regain appetite and prevent severe weight loss caused by cancer and weakened immune conditions.
This medication is typically prescribed when cancer has progressed despite other hormone-blocking treatments. Your doctor will evaluate your hormone receptor status to determine if Unistrol 160mg Tablet is the right choice for your condition. The medication acts on hormone receptors in the body, reducing hormone levels that support cancer cell growth while simultaneously stimulating appetite in patients experiencing cachexia (muscle wasting) and anorexia (loss of appetite).
Key points
Unistrol 160mg Tablet works by binding to hormone receptors in cancer cells, which stops the growth signals that estrogen and androgens normally provide. The medication also suppresses the production of these hormones in the adrenal glands and ovaries. Additionally, Unistrol 160mg helps maintain appetite and prevents the breakdown of proteins, making it effective for managing cancer-related weight loss and muscle wasting in patients with serious illnesses.
Take Unistrol 160mg Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Your dose and treatment duration depend on your type of cancer, overall health, and how your body responds to the medication. Never change your dose or stop taking this medicine without consulting your healthcare provider.
