My father weighs 113, height 58, age 89, congestive heart failure, several bouts of pneumonia in the last few years, cannot eat without feeling nauseous - Dr. wants to put him on Megace (have already tried various other things).  Is Megace a good option?
Thank you very much for asking me this question menace in high doses can increase appetite in some cases since your father has been just of heart failure, so you should be careful because it can worsen shortness of breath it has some other side effects like thrombophlebitis and pulmonary embolism, but usually it is a common practice to give this medication, and you should be under constant of care off your physician I hope this was helpful thank you
