Megestrol
A synthetic progestin derived from progesterone, synthesised in 1959 and used as the acetate: introduced in 1963 as a component of the contraceptive pill, it is now used against some hormone-dependent cancers and to stimulate appetite. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards and other impurities.
Did you know?Increased appetite and weight gain were noticed in the 1980s in cancer patients treated with high doses: in 1993 an oral suspension was approved in the United States precisely against anorexia and cachexia.
