Cyproterone acetate is a hormonal treatment used to control the effects of androgens in the body. It works to reduce the effects of these hormones, helping to treat conditions such as severe acne and unwanted hair growth in women, as well as some adrenal gland disorders. It can also be used as part of a treatment plan for prostate cancer to slow the progression of the disease.
It also helps regulate the activity of the sebaceous glands and reduce secretions that can lead to clogged pores and acne.
Cyproterone acetate works to achieve hormonal balance, helping to improve the condition of the skin and hair with regular use and according to the doctor's instructions. Periodic checkups are necessary to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment and avoid potential side effects.
