What Can Megace ES Do for Me?
Megace ES (megestrol acetate) is a concentrated formula available as a milky-white, lemon-lime flavored oral suspension containing 125 mg of megestrol acetate per mL.1 The recommended dose of 1 teaspoon daily (5 mL/day or 625 mg/day) of Megace ES helps stimulate appetite, regain lost weight, and improve sense of well-being.
A study done over a 12-week period showed that most people who take megestrol acetate regained their appetite and increased average caloric intake by approximately one third the recommended daily allowance of 2000 calories per day. Patients also attained an average increase in weight of approximately 11 pounds.1
By stimulating appetite and increasing the amount of calories eaten, Megace ES helps give the body the nutrients it needs to function. This can stimulate appetite, increase weight gain, and provide a greater sense of well-being.
