Anamorelin, the world's first oral drug specifically for the treatment of cancer cachexia, was launched by Ono Pharmaceutical of Japan in 2021. It helps patients regain their appetite and weight by mimicking the action of ghrelin.
Regarding the recommended dosage of Anamorelin, the appropriate dosage and frequency of dosage will be detailed in accordance with the instructions.
Adult patients usually take 100 mg of Anamorelin hydrochloride every morning on an empty stomach to achieve optimal absorption in the stomach once a day to maintain a stable concentration of the drug.
In order for the drug to work, anaamoline hydrochloride needs to be taken on an empty stomach, and patients need to fast for at least 8 hours before taking the drug and avoid eating for an hour after taking the drug to avoid food interfering with the absorption of the drug.
Patients should communicate regularly with their doctor during use, and the doctor will decide whether to continue the medication or adjust the treatment plan based on factors such as weight changes and appetite status. Next, the therapeutic effects of Anamorelin will be described in detail.
Anamorelin's performance in terms of therapeutic efficacy is of great interest, and the specific therapeutic data on its role in improving weight and appetite in patients with cancer dyscrasia will be explored.
In clinical studies in Japan, Anamorelin showed significant therapeutic effects in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. The study involved 173 patients who took 100 mg of anamarin daily on an empty stomach for 12 weeks.
The results showed a statistically significant increase in the patient's lean body mass during the treatment period, which was statistically highly significant, showing the good effect of Anamorelin in improving weight loss and muscle burn.
Anamorelin has shown excellent results in improving patients' weight and appetite, but the presence of side effects is also a cause for concern, and adverse effects are discussed in detail next.
The following will focus on the possible adverse effects of Anamorelin during use.
Symptoms of dyspnea are uncommon, but anamarin has the potential to cause respiratory problems, such as shortness or difficulty breathing. If you experience respiratory discomfort, you need to be evaluated by your doctor as soon as possible.
Some people may develop pleural effusion, which is an abnormal buildup of fluid in the chest cavity that can cause chest discomfort or breathing problems. Diagnosis is made by imaging if necessary.
Adverse effects occur during treatment, but the benefits of Anamorelin in the overall treatment are still positive.
[Warm tips] During the period of taking Anamorelin, maintaining a good diet and rest habits will help to better exert the effect of the drug.
