This video provides an overview of appetite stimulants with an emphasis on megestrol acetate, dronabinol, and mirtazapine.
It starts with a general discussion of those medications including their approval status with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), populations and outcomes studied, and their standing with the American Geriatric Society (ACS), the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN), and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND).
It then transitions into an in-depth discussion of each medication, highlighting the mechanism of action and relevant publications.
Even though prescribing medication is beyond the scope of practice for a registered dietitian, as leaders in the fight against malnutrition, having an understanding of the available options for appetite stimulating medications is imperative.
