Is Anamorelin a good treatment?

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.

What are the adverse effects of Anamorelin?

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.

2. Pleural effusion
