Why is Androcur prescribed?

Androcur (Cyproterone Acetate) is a medication that contains cyproterone acetate and is used as an anti-androgen therapy. Androcur is used to manage sexual desire in men with an increased sex drive (hypersexuality) and/or sexual deviations.

What does it do?

Androcur (Cyproterone Acetate) works by blocking the effects of male sex hormones (androgens) and decreasing the amount of these hormones produced by the body and the active ingredient cyproterone acetate.

How should I take it?

The typical dose is one tablet twice a day. Once the desired effect is achieved, your dose may be gradually reduced. Take the tablet after your morning and evening meals, swallowing it whole with a glass of water.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose for your treatment. Always follow your doctor's instructions, and consult them if you're unsure.

What if I missed a dose?

If you miss a dose do not take them, then take your next dose at the scheduled time. Do not take two doses to make up for the missed one.

What are the special precautions before taking Androcur (Cyproterone Acetate)?

Inform your doctor if you have any of the following conditions. If any of these apply to you, inform your doctor before starting treatment:

• Allergic (hypersensitive) to cyproterone acetate or any of the other ingredients in Androcur.
• A history of herpes during pregnancy
• A history of benign or malignant liver tumors
• A wasting disease (leading to decay or loss of strength)
• A history of blood circulation disorders, particularly venous thrombosis (blood clots in blood vessels)
• Hereditary liver disorders affecting the excretion of bilirubin (such as Dubin-Johnson Syndrome or Rotor Syndrome)
• Liver disease.
• Sickle-cell anemia
• Severe chronic depression
• Severe diabetes with blood vessel complications

If your doctor prescribes a combined progestogen-estrogen oral contraceptive along with Androcur, be sure to read the information in the package insert of the contraceptive carefully.

Does it have any side effects?

If you feel unwell while taking Androcur, inform your doctor or pharmacist as soon as possible. Like all medicines, Androcur can have side effects. Some may be serious, but most are not. You may need medical treatment for certain side effects.

If you notice any of the following and they concern you, let your doctor or pharmacist know:

• Breast pain, swelling, size changes, or tenderness
• Breast enlargement in men
• Decreased sexual drive
• Depressive mood
• Fatigue
• Headache
• Nausea or other digestive issues
• Hot flushes or sweating

If you were fertile before treatment, Androcur may temporarily prevent sperm production. Fertility usually returns within a few months after stopping treatment.
Serious side effects may include:
• Yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, pale stools
• Severe upper abdominal pain
• Sudden severe headache, slurred speech, shortness of breath
• Vomiting blood or material that looks like coffee grounds, black or bloody stools, bleeding from the back passage, or diarrhea

These are serious side effects that may require urgent medical care or hospitalization, though they are rare.

Is it safe to take it with another drug?

Be sure to inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are currently taking or have recently taken any other medications, including over-the-counter medicines. Also, let your doctor know if you are using any medications that affect the liver, such as:

• Clotrimazole
