Can an pill to increase appetite in a cancer patient increase risk for blood clot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Sometimes we use prednisone. Also some people respond to Marinol but not the greatest. Mirtazapine (remeron) an antidepressant has side effects that include help with sleeping and improved appetite. Hope this helps. However, as with all medications, there are side effects and there can be drug interactions. So discuss with your doctor.
