Androcur 50MG (Cyproterone Acetate)

What is Androcur 50mg used for? Androcur 50mg is a steroidal anti-androgen. The active ingredient is cyproterone acetate. Androgens such as testosterone are natural male sex hormones which are also produced, to a slight extent, in females. In men, androgens may help cancer cells to grow in some types of prostate cancer. By blocking these hormones, Androcur 50mg may slow or stop the growth of cancer. Androcur 50mg may also be used in combination with other medicines or following surgical removal of the testes to treat side effects such as Òhot flushesÓ or ÒsweatsÓ and to prevent any initial worsening of the disease. Take your medicine after meals at about the same time each day to maximize effect and to help you remember when to take them
