Benefits of megestrol acetate tablets

For Breast Cancer: Megestrol acetate 40 mg tablets help relieve symptoms of breast cancer, such as breast lumps, bloody nipple discharge, or changes in the shape or texture of the breast. It works by changing the levels of hormones in the body that breast cancer needs to grow and spread. It may also interact with other hormones or directly affect the cancer to stop its growth.

For Endometrial Cancer: Megestrol acetate 40 mg tablets are a synthetic hormone that works like a natural female hormone called progesterone. It helps relieve symptoms of endometrial cancer, which is cancer of the womb lining, such as abnormal vaginal bleeding, lower back pain, or pain during sex.
