I’m a 35 yr old female that had abnormal bleeding from PCOS and after a blood transfusion, put on megace to stop the bleeding. This was in July 2017. I’ve been running high fevers since October, non stop. Highest 103.0. I’ve been admitted and they’ve ran every test imaginable. Every test is coming back negative.Theyve rested me for Lyme, West Nile, meningitis, CT’s of Head, abdomen, pelvic, you name it, I’ve had it tested. I’m curious to know if Megace has given anyone else these “unexplained” fevers? I? have the doctors baffled, yet spoke with an oncologist today and think we might be on to this medication. Anyone else experience this?

Yes, it has been known to cause fevers and hot flashes, according to FDA reports. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, edema, nausea, and sweating.

If all other tests are negative, then it is likely a fairly good guess that the medication is causing it. How long have you been taking it?

Are you on any other medications?

Will you be seeing an oncologist, again?
