Internal Medicine Physician | MNr. 80134Dr. Marina Sharoyko is a medical specialist in clinical pharmacology and internal medicine, with additional expertise in cardiology and physiology.
Androcur is a medication that contains cyproterone acetate, a synthetic hormone with anti-androgenic properties. It is used in various contexts where blocking the effects of androgens (male hormones) is desired. Androcur plays a role in reducing the activity of testosterone in the body, which can support the management of conditions such as acne, facial hair growth (hirsutism), and is also part of estrogen and feminizing therapy.
One of the key uses of Androcur is to reduce androgen-driven symptoms, such as excessive facial or body hair in women (hirsutism), or severe acne that has not responded to other treatments. By suppressing the effects of androgens, Androcur helps to decrease oil production in the skin and slow unwanted hair growth over time.
In transgender women, Androcur is often prescribed as part of feminizing hormone therapy, where it works by lowering testosterone levels to help promote physical changes more aligned with gender identity. It may be used alongside estrogen to support a more comprehensive hormonal approach.
Androcur is taken orally, usually in tablet form, and dosing depends on the condition being treated and the individual’s treatment goals. The medication is typically used over a longer period, and effects may develop gradually. Consistent use and regular medical monitoring are important to assess progress and adjust treatment if needed.
As with many hormonal treatments, Androcur may cause side effects. These can include fatigue, mood changes, changes in libido, or changes in menstrual cycles. More serious side effects may include liver dysfunction, liver toxicity, and an increased risk of blood clots (venous thromboembolism). Patients should report symptoms such as jaundice, abdominal pain, severe headaches, chest pain, or swelling in the legs to their healthcare provider immediately.
General Information
Androcur contains cyproterone acetate, a strong anti-androgen that blocks the action of male hormones.
In men it treats prostate-related conditions and overly high sex drive; in women and transgender people it helps control severe acne, excess hair, or supports feminising hormone therapy.
It attaches to androgen receptors and also lowers the body’s own testosterone signal, starving hormone-dependent tissues of stimulation.
Most adults take 10-50mg once or twice daily, but your doctor may pick a different amount.
Lower libido or sebum can improve within days, while effects on hair, skin tone, or prostate usually need several weeks to a few months.
Take it when remembered unless it is almost time for the next one; never double a dose.
Safety & Side Effects
- Common: tiredness, weight gain, mood change, breast tenderness, hot flushes, mild nausea, mild stomach upset, temporary hair shedding, and reversible loss of fertility.
- Less common: blood clots, jaundice, severe depression, or a benign brain tumour called meningioma with long-term high doses. Get urgent attention for leg pain, chest pain, sudden breathlessness, or yellow skin/eyes.
Regular blood tests monitor liver enzymes and testosterone levels; ultrasound may be advised for prostate size, and sperm counts usually recover after stopping though not always. Reliable contraception is essential for anyone who could become pregnant. Tell your doctor if you smoke, are immobilised, or have heart disease because these factors increase the chance of blood clots.
Yes, though rarely. Stop treatment and seek help if you notice rash, itching, facial swelling, or wheezing.
Some HIV antivirals, statins, rifampicin, carbamazepine, or St John’s wort can interfere. Tell your doctor everything you take.
