Choices of drug management of cachexia: (shortened; see URL below for complete info.)
Corticosteroids: Dexamethasone, methylprednisolone, prednisolone, and hydrocortisone.
Progestational drugs: Medroxyprogesterone and megestrol acetate; there is some evidence for using a combination of megestrol acetate and ibuprofen for cancer cachexia.
Prokinetic drugs: Metoclopramide is most widely used, ....as a continuous subcutaneous infusion. Domperidone or cisapride are appropriate alternatives.
