Appetite stimulants

Appetite stimulants are medications designed to increase hunger in individuals who have lost their desire to eat due to illness, fatigue, or medical treatments like chemotherapy. They work by affecting brain signals that control hunger, encouraging people to eat more. These drugs can help improve nutritional intake, support weight gain, and boost overall strength in patients with conditions such as cancer, AIDS, or chronic illnesses. While beneficial, they are typically prescribed under medical supervision due to potential side effects and the need to address the underlying cause of appetite loss.
