Megahenz-160 Tablet contains megestrol acetate (160 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Hormonal suppression: Megestrol acetate, as a synthetic progesterone, suppresses the production of certain hormones that fuel hormone-dependent cancers, helping to slow cancer progression.

• Adrenal and ovarian effect: It reduces steroid production by the adrenal glands and decreases androgen secretion by the ovaries, which helps control tumour growth in breast and endometrial cancers.

• Appetite stimulation: Megestrol affects the hypothalamus, the brain region controlling hunger and satiety, increasing appetite signals and promoting weight gain in patients with severe weight loss.

• Metabolic regulation: The medicine may alter metabolism to encourage weight gain, though the exact mechanism involves complex interactions with various neurotransmitters and hormones regulating food intake.
