Can Anamorelin increase appetite?

Yes, Anamorelin is designed to stimulate appetite. As an oral non-hormonal selective hunger receptor mimetic, anamorelin's main function is to simulate hunger receptors in the brain, specifically the ghrelin receptor (GHrelin receptor), thereby increasing patients' interest in food. By simulating this physiological mechanism, anamorelin can increase a patient's appetite, making them more willing to eat. This is especially important for patients who suffer from weight loss and loss of appetite due to muscle wasting diseases. Patients may experience an increased interest in food while taking anamorelin, promoting better nutritional intake and helping to improve weight and overall health.
