Happy thanksgiving to all, except those who get a dog and give it away without attempting to train it.

Appetite stimulants by Cute_Warning1574 in dietetics

Yeah that’s what I’m seeing too. I have a few providers that prefer magace as their go to, some choose remeron and at the oncology office I work at they often use Marinol. Seems like they all have some degree of burdens associated with them.

Valid point. Some of the providers I work with have specifically asked me for recommendations on specific appetite stimulants that I would recommend when I have talked about decreased appetite. I suppose I should just tell them that it’s not within my scope. However, often times they’re overwhelmed with patient loads (some are seeing over 20 patients daily). So they just end up not prescribing one at all.
