OVERDOSE
No serious unexpected side effects have resulted from studies involving MEGACE Oral Suspension administered in dosages as high as 1200 mg/ day. Megestrol acetate has not been tested for dialyzability; however, due to its low solubility it is postulated that dialysis would not be an effective means of treating overdose.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
History of hypersensitivity to megestrol acetate or any component of the formulation. As a diagnostic test for pregnancy. Known or suspected pregnancy.
