One success story could be about a cancer patient. Megestrol helped in improving their appetite. They were losing weight rapidly due to cancer treatments, but after starting megestrol, they gradually regained the ability to eat more and started to gain some healthy weight back, which also improved their overall energy levels and quality of life.
There was an elderly patient who had a chronic illness that caused a loss of appetite. Megestrol was prescribed. It worked wonders for them. They started looking forward to meals again. Their family noticed a big change as they became more engaged in social activities. This was because they had more energy from the increased food intake enabled by megestrol.
A patient with AIDS - related wasting syndrome had great success with megestrol. Before taking it, they were extremely weak and malnourished. Megestrol increased their appetite significantly. They could then consume more calories, and as a result, they not only gained weight but also saw improvements in their muscle strength and were able to be more active in their daily life.
