Product introduction

Celstrol 160 Tablet is a medicine used for the treatment of anorexia, cachexia, or significant, unexplained weight loss in patients with advanced cancer or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). It helps improve appetite and promote weight gain.

Celstrol 160 Tablet may be taken with or without food. Take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Your doctor will decide how much you need to take and for how long. Take it regularly and at the same time each day. Do not stop taking it suddenly without your doctor’s advice.

Common side effects of Celstrol 160 Tablet include diarrhea, rash, nausea, vomiting, headache, weakness (asthenia), and high blood pressure. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, stop the medicine and inform your doctor promptly. Managing side effects may involve dose adjustments, monitoring blood sugar closely, and supportive treatment as advised by your doctor.

Celstrol 160 Tablet should not be used in patients who are allergic to megestrol acetate or any component in the product. It is contraindicated in known or suspected pregnancy because it may cause harm to the unborn baby. Women of childbearing age should use effective contraception during treatment. Nursing mothers should discontinue breastfeeding if treatment is required. Elderly patients and those with kidney problems may require careful dose selection and monitoring.

Long-term use may affect the body’s adrenal gland function and can lead to adrenal insufficiency, especially during stress such as surgery or serious illness. It may also worsen existing diabetes or cause new-onset diabetes. Caution is advised in patients with a history of blood clots, as thromboembolic events such as thrombophlebitis or pulmonary embolism have been reported.

Benefits of Celstrol Tablet

Treatment of Anorexia
Anorexia refers to a loss of appetite or reduced desire to eat. In patients with cancer or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) who experience loss of appetite, Celstrol 160 Tablet helps stimulate appetite, making it easier to consume regular meals and maintain adequate calorie intake. An improved appetite can support better nutritional intake, help reduce weakness, and aid in maintaining body weight during illness.

Treatment of Cachexia
Cachexia is a condition marked by significant weight loss, muscle wasting, and weakness due to chronic illness. In cancer- or AIDS-related cachexia, Celstrol 160 Tablet helps promote weight gain by improving appetite and increasing food intake. Supporting weight stabilization or gain helps improve strength, physical function, and overall nutritional status in patients experiencing disease-related wasting.

Treatment of significant unexplained Weight loss
In patients with cancer or AIDS who experience significant, unexplained weight loss, Celstrol 160 Tablet supports increased calorie intake and gradual weight gain. Weight restoration helps improve energy levels, reduce fatigue, and support overall physical well-being during treatment or illness.
