Anamorelin is made to fight cancer cachexia. It works by acting like a ghrelin receptor agonist. It’s given to help pick up their appetite and to help them gain some weight.
You’re usually supposed to take the standard dose of 100 mg once each day, best on an empty belly. The tablet’s 50 mg dose comes in packs that hold 30. It’s to stop the big drop in weight and muscle loss that come with cancer cachexia.
It’s this kind of tough stuff going on in cancer patients’ bodies.
