A member asked:

Is it okay to start pueraria mirifica 500mg, right after, or day after stopping megace (megestrol) es? any concerns?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Since pueraria migifica is a phytoestrogen ( a plant derived estrogen like compound ), it may be contraindicated altogether and risky if the megace (megestrol) has been used for certain conditions. Ask your doctor if estrogen is safe for you and if not you should avoid the pueraria. Hope this helps.
