ANDROCUR (CYPROTERONE ACETATE)

About Androcur

Cyproterone, the active ingredient in Androcur, belongs to a group of medicines known as steroidal antiandrogens. Androgens such as testosterone are natural male sex hormones. Androcur may be prescribed in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer.

How Androcur Works

Androgens such as testosterone may promote the growth of cancer cells in certain types of prostate cancer. Androcur or Cyproterone generic may help to block the effects of testosterone, thus reducing its production in the testicles. The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.

What is Androcur used for?

In addition to treating prostate cancer, Androcur may also be prescribed to control sexual desire in men who have an abnormal or increased sex drive (known as hyper sexuality) as it reduces the male hormones.

Androcur Precautions

You may feel weak or tired when you begin treatment with Cyproterone until your body adjusts to the medication. Do not drive or participate in any activities that could be unsafe if you are not alert. Alcohol consumption should be limited while taking Androcur, as it may reduce the effectiveness of the medication.

  • Reduced sperm count (while undergoing treatment)
