Twenty-one cats were treated with megestrol acetate because they were showing clinical signs associated with one of the following problems: eosinophilic ulcer, eosinophilic plaque, neurodermatitis, endocrine alopecia and miliary dermatitis. The dosage schedule was 5 mg orally per day per cat for seven days, then 5 mg every three days for 21 days. In all cats, we noted a good improvement of the lesions as soon as treatment was started. In 25% of the patients, one treatment schedule was sufficient to control the skin disease for at least 18 months. In the remaining 75%, two treatment schedules and/or a maintenance dosage had to be established.Side effects encountered were increased appetite, personality changes and depression.
21只猫因出现与以下问题之一相关的临床症状而接受醋酸甲地孕酮治疗：嗜酸性溃疡、嗜酸性斑块、神经性皮炎、内分泌性脱毛和粟粒性皮炎。给药方案为每只猫每天口服5毫克，持续7天，然后每三天口服5毫克，持续21天。在所有猫中，我们注意到治疗一开始病变就有明显改善。25%的患者，一个治疗方案就足以控制皮肤病至少18个月。在其余75%的患者中，必须制定两个治疗方案和/或维持剂量。出现的副作用包括食欲增加、性格改变和抑郁。
