I was wondering if megestrol acetate (megace) that is usually given to cancer patients and aids patients, is considered steroids? Can you develop muscles if working out while on this?
 
it's not a anabolic steroid so no

Little is known about the drug's chemical interactions. Doses range from 40 mg three times a day, 30 minutes before meals, to 800 mg once a day. Side effects may include diarrhea, rash, and impotence. Males may have some feminizing effects such as gynecomastia (breast development). It is a category X U.S. Food and Drug Administration drug, which means cannot be used in pregnancy as it crosses the placenta and malignantly affects the fetus.

Megace is definitely a steroid, but not one with anabolic effects.

It's a shame Megace is still used, now that we know so much about marijuana.

Not every medication is going to suit a patient's needs correctly. You can't have one drug for a disease with such a broad range of negative effects.

If I had cancer, the very last thing I would want going into my body is THC or any of its relatives.

I am sorry for making more threads on this subject, I deleted all of them but this one. But I had some more questions about megace, and positive possibilities of more than just a beergut, when using this drug. So i thought a steroid forum would be a good place for advice, with experienced people in weight gaining, exercise and workout routines. Even though it's not technically a steroid (I know now), I thought that someone would reach out a helping hand to a guy who's been skinny all his life, and give me a clue about this (thank you Swerlz and MyDoorsAreOpen for your clear answers). But instead I got put down hard in my now deleted threads by this guy Voxide, who, if you check his profile, is very rude to many.

So, please, can anyone give me some tips on building my arms, this megace makes me gain weight, but even without it and just food, what should I eat and what are some good routines for my arms, especially forearms, to get them a little bigger?

Thanks!

Have fun, popeye.



More possibilities than a beergut? Oh but of course! How about gyno and adrenal insufficiency?

Hey, besides the rudeness, thanks, really. And I seriously think the popeye analogy is fucking hilarious, I really laughed out loud when I read that.
