Quantitative Assessment of Food Effect on the Pharmacokinetics of Nano‐Crystallized Megestrol Acetate

Abstract: Megestrol acetate, an appetite stimulant with low bioavailability, shows increased bioavailability when taken together with food. However, the pharmacokinetic characteristics of megestrol acetate and its relation with food are not well understood. This study aimed to investigate the food effect on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the recently developed nano-crystallized megestrol acetate (NCMA), using a model-based approach. Data were obtained from an NCMA PK study consisting of a single dose in fasting (39 indivi… Show more

“…These characteristics include reduced bioavailability and susceptibility to food intake when taken orally [ 21 ]. Although megestrol acetate has increased bioavailability when administered after a high-fat meal [ 22 ], in clinical use, it is usually administered under fasting conditions because it is used in patients with cachexia. This has led to improvements in formulation by using a new formulation with higher absorption rates.…”
