阿那莫林有什么不良反应和注意事项？哪里能买到阿那莫林？

Ghrelin is an endogenous peptide mainly secreted by the stomach. Anamorelin is a novel, oral, selective ghrelin receptor agonist that can improve weight loss and loss of appetite in patients with cancer cachexia. Launched in Japan on April 21, 2021, it is the first drug to treat cancer cachexia.

So, what are the adverse reactions and precautions of Anamorelin?

Although anamorelin has been shown to increase body weight, muscle mass and appetite in cancer patients with cachexia, it also has side effects. Increased γ-GTP (serum γ-glutamyl transpeptidase) and increased glycated hemoglobin are its main side effects. However, anamorelin also has more serious side effects, such as inhibition of the stimulating conduction system, abnormal electrocardiogram, liver dysfunction, hyperglycemia, exacerbation of diabetes, thirst, frequent urination and other symptoms that require special attention. It is recommended that patients take medication as directed by their doctor to avoid side effects that may affect their condition.

During treatment with anamorelin, it is also necessary to note that patients with a history of allergies to the components of anamorelin, patients with congestive heart failure, and patients with myocardial infarction or angina pectoris are contraindicated; anamorelin has a sodium channel inhibitory effect, so it has an inhibitory effect on stimulating the conduction system; blood glucose and urine glucose should be measured regularly before starting and during administration, and liver function tests should be performed regularly; the elderly should take it with caution; for more details, please read the instructions, and it is recommended to follow the doctor's advice during treatment.
