Synopsis：Pharmacodynamic characteristics cyproterone acetate tablet is an anti androgen preparation. It can inhibit the action of androgens (the female body can also produce trace androgens), and show the effects of progesterone and anti gonadotropin. When men were treated with cyproterone acetate tablets, their sexual impulse and sexual ability decreased, and their gonadal function was inhibited. These changes can be reversed after treatment is stopped. Cyproterone acetate competitively inhibits the action of androgens in androgen dependent target organs. For example, it protects the prostate from androgens produced in the gonad and / or adrenal cortex. In women, hirsutism is reduced, and androgen dependent hair loss and enhanced sebaceous gland function are also reduced. During treatment, ovarian function was inhibited. A slight increase in prolactin levels was occasionally observed when using higher doses of cyproterone acetate.
