Androstat Tablets 50mg 10s

Androstat Tablets 50mg 10s, made by Pacific Pharmaceuticals Ltd, is an anti-androgen. Its active ingredient is Cyproterone 50mg, and it is used for prostate cancer, severe acne and hirsutism. Pack size: 10 tablets.

Uses of Androstat Tablets 50mg 10s

Androstat Tablets 50mg 10s is used on its own in men with advanced prostate cancer, either to slow the cancer or to control the hot flushes and tumour flare that can follow other hormone treatment. In women, a low strength combined with ethinylestradiol in a hormonal pill is used for severe acne and excess facial or body hair (hirsutism) when other treatments have not worked, for example in polycystic ovary syndrome.

How Androstat Tablets 50mg 10s works

Cyproterone acetate blocks androgen receptors, so male hormones such as testosterone cannot act on tissues like the prostate, the skin’s oil glands and hair follicles. It also has progestogen activity, which reduces the brain’s signals to make testosterone and lowers hormone levels further.

Possible side effects

Hormone-related side effects are common with Androstat Tablets 50mg 10s and may include:

• Tiredness
• Weight changes
• Breast tenderness or enlargement in men
• Reduced sex drive
• Low mood or mood changes

Get medical help promptly for yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine or upper abdominal pain, breathlessness, pain or swelling in one leg, or a severe headache or change in vision.

Precautions and warnings

• Your doctor will arrange liver function tests before and during treatment, as cyproterone can rarely cause serious liver damage.
• Tell your doctor if you have ever had a blood clot, liver disease, a meningioma, diabetes or depression.
• Long-term use at higher strengths has been linked to meningioma, a usually non-cancerous brain tumour, so it is used for the shortest time needed.
• It must not be used in pregnancy, and women on the combined pill form should not use any other hormonal contraception alongside it.
• Tiredness can affect your ability to drive, so take care until you know how it affects you.
