antiandrogenisiä
Antiandrogens are a class of drugs that block the effects of androgens, which are male sex hormones like testosterone. They work by preventing androgens from binding to their receptors in the body. This can reduce the production of androgens or interfere with their action. Antiandrogens are used in various medical conditions, including prostate cancer, hirsutism (excessive hair growth in women), precocious puberty, and gender-affirming hormone therapy for transgender women.
There are different types of antiandrogens. Some are steroidal and directly inhibit the production of androgens,
Common side effects of antiandrogens can include hot flashes, fatigue, decreased libido, and erectile dysfunction in
