What Are The Uses And Side Effects Of Megestrol 2x?
i am taking megestrol 2x a day. i an 63 and they are trying to control abnormal bleeding. because i am obese and have other health issues, a historectomy is not possible. my sister had the same problems and her kidneys went haywire and she ended up on dyalosis. i am concerned about the same thing happening, because my kidney number went from 60 to 32. is it safe to take this drug?
All medications have potential side effects that may or may not occur.
Side effects tend to occur in the minority not the majority of persons using medications. It is used for different reasons including treatment of endometrial cancer. It is possible that without treatment, this may worsen.
This medication is not known to affect kidney function so your sister may have needed dialysis for a different reason.
I hope this helps
