Subject: Here's a summation of drugs for cachexia; maybe a complete fit for pet-megate can be found. -sm

Choices of drug management of cachexia: (shortened; see URL below for complete info.)

Corticosteroids: Dexamethasone, methylprednisolone, prednisolone, and hydrocortisone.

Progestational drugs: Medroxyprogesterone and megestrol acetate; there is some evidence for using a combination of megestrol acetate and ibuprofen for cancer cachexia.

Prokinetic drugs: Metoclopramide is most widely used, ....as a continuous subcutaneous infusion. Domperidone or cisapride are appropriate alternatives.
