Meget 160mg Tablet 6pcs

Generic: Megestrol Acetate

Type: Tablet

Pack Size: 10 Pcs

Megestrol Acetate is a synthetic antineoplastic and progestational agent. The exact mechanism of its antineoplastic activity in endometrial carcinoma is unclear but may involve:

  • Inhibition of pituitary gonadotropin secretion, leading to reduced estrogen production.
  • Direct cytotoxic effects on tumor cells and modification of steroid hormone activity in breast cancer.

In metastatic cancers, hormone receptors may vary across tissues. Estrogen binds to cytoplasmic receptors in target cells, enters the nucleus, and triggers gene transcription, altering cell behavior. Megestrol Acetate in pharmacological doses:

  • Reduces hormone-dependent human breast cancer cell populations.
  • Counteracts estrogen's stimulatory effects on these cells.

Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disorder where the body produces abnormally shaped red blood cells. These cells are crescent or sickle-shaped instead of the normal round shape, which makes them less flexible and prone to clumping together, blocking blood flow. Key aspects of sickle cell anemia include: Shortened lifespan of red blood cells: Sickle cells die earlier than normal red blood cells, leading to anemia (a shortage of healthy red blood cells). Pain and complications: The sickle cells can block blood flow in small blood vessels, leading to episodes of severe pain, organ damage, and increased risk of infection. Symptoms: Common symptoms include fatigue, pain crises (pain episodes), swelling in the hands and feet, frequent infections, and delayed growth in children.

Potential spread: These cancers can spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body if not detected early. Symptoms: Symptoms often include a lump in the neck, difficulty swallowing, sore throat, changes in voice, or unexplained bleeding.
