Hormontartalmú

Hormontartalmú is a Hungarian adjective describing substances, preparations, or products that contain one or more hormones. Hormones are biologically active molecules produced by endocrine glands or their synthetic analogs. The term is formed from hormon (hormon) and tartalmú (containing) and is commonly used in medical, veterinary, and sometimes nutritional or cosmetic contexts to indicate the presence of hormonal components.

The designation is used in several fields. In pharmacology, a hormontartalmú készítmény refers to a medicinal product whose active ingredient is a hormone or a compound with hormonal activity. In veterinary medicine, such formulations may target animal growth, reproduction, or metabolism. In some discussions of foods or dietary supplements, hormontartalmú components may be mentioned, though regulatory regimes for hormones in these products vary by country and are often strict.

Regulatory and safety considerations are central to hormontartalmú products. Because hormones can have widespread and systemic effects, these products typically undergo rigorous safety evaluations and licensing processes. Labeling requirements frequently mandate that the presence and type of hormones, recommended dosages, and administration methods be stated. In medical use, hormones are usually prescribed and monitored by health professionals to ensure appropriate indications and avoid adverse effects.

Etymology and related terms: the word combines hormon with the suffix tartalmú, paralleling forms like hormontartalmú anyagok or készítmények. Related terms include hormonális (hormonal) and hormonmentes (hormone-free). The precise usage of hormontartalmú depends on regulatory and industry context.
