Other cost factors

In addition to the cost of medicines, international transportation costs also need to be considered, and some countries may impose import duties.

The price will change due to exchange rate fluctuations and market competition. It is recommended to compare prices with multiple parties and confirm the latest quotation before purchasing.

Usage and dosage of Anamorelin

Patients must strictly follow the doctor’s instructions and are not allowed to adjust the drug dosage on their own.

Standard usage

Adults take 100 mg orally once a day on an empty stomach. The best time to take it is 30 minutes before breakfast. Take it with warm water. Taking it on an empty stomach can improve the drug absorption rate.

Dose adjustment

Doctors will adjust the dose based on the patient's individual response and tolerance. Initial treatment usually starts with a lower dose and is gradually adjusted to the target dose based on the effect after 2-4 weeks.

Medication treatment course

The standard treatment cycle is 12 weeks, and some patients may need to extend the course of treatment. Do not increase or decrease the dose on your own or stop medication suddenly to avoid affecting the efficacy or causing adverse reactions.

Regular follow-up visits should be conducted during the medication period to provide feedback to the doctor on medication effects and body reactions.

Usage of Anamorelin for Special Populations

Special populations need to pay special attention to dose adjustment and medication monitoring when using Anamorelin.

Use in children

Currently, no clinical trials of anamorelin have been conducted on children, and there is a lack of effective data on the use of the drug in children. This drug is not recommended for patients under 18 years of age.

Drug use in the elderly

The decreased physiological functions of elderly patients may affect drug metabolism. When administering, you should start with a low dose, closely observe the patient's condition, and adjust the dose and dosage regimen if necessary.

Hepatic Impairment

Patients with mild hepatic impairment should use the drug with caution, especially when combined with CYP3A4 inhibitors. It is not recommended for patients with moderate or above moderate hepatic impairment as it may increase the risk of adverse reactions.

Special groups should undergo a comprehensive evaluation before taking medication, use it under strict supervision by a doctor, and monitor relevant indicators regularly.
