Indications & Clinical Uses

CYPROTERONE is an antiandrogen used to treat various conditions related to androgen activity.

  • Prostate cancer: Used in the palliative treatment of advanced prostate cancer.
  • Hirsutism: Reduces excessive hair growth in women.
  • Severe acne: Treats severe forms of acne associated with androgenisation.
  • Androgenic alopecia: Helps with androgen-dependent hair loss in women.
  • Transgender hormone therapy: Acts as an anti-androgen component in hormone therapy.

How It Works
