What is the best drug for enhancing appetite for my elderly father?

Cannabis

We often use megace, reglan or marinol. Consult his physician to see if any of those would be beneficial

The other thing I willl suggest is contact hospice for help and they will at no charge come and evaluate the home and help you with anything you need in the form of support and suggestions.

Try jello, pudding with whole milk, icecream, high cal drinks like protein type drinks, lots of pedialyte for electolyte balance, try to keep his energy high and elevate his attitude. Combining the hi-cal foods with drinks will help weight gain, appetite may increase with the use of easier to swallow foods. Shakes with his favorite flavor. Good luck

Hello banjoe. You might ask your doctor to prescribe Remeron, generic Mirtazapine. It,will help him to sleep and his appetite will most certainly be there. Its more often than not taken in the evening, or before bed time (because of the sleepiness created by the drug). He will be putting on the weight, for its a very common normal side effect of the drug. Best of wishes and I hope that your father gives it a try, and that his doctor also agrees its a sound idea,pledge
