1. A method of increasing the body mass in a human patient suffering from anorexia, cachexia, or loss of body mass comprising administering to the human patient a megestrol acetate formulation, wherein:
(a) the megestrol acetate formulation is a dose of about 40 mg to about 800 mg in about a 5 mL dose of an oral suspension; (b) the megestrol acetate formulation comprises megestrol acetate particles, wherein about 80% of the particles are between about 250 nm and about 50 nm, and at least one surface stabilizer is associated with the surface of the megestrol acetate particles; and (c) the administration is once daily; wherein after a single administration in a human subject of the formulation there is no substantial difference in the Cmax of megestrol when the formulation is administered to the subject in a fed versus a fasted state, wherein fasted state is defined as the subject having no food within at least the previous 10 hours, and wherein fed state is defined as the subject having a high-calorie meal within approximately 30 minutes of dosing. |
