How does the component?
Cyproterone acetate is an opponent of the male sex hormone testosterone.
It is able to mitigate the effect of male sex hormones in the human body. In addition, it also inhibits the production of testosterone.
The inhibitory effect on the male hormones causes a change in hair growth, sebaceous secretion and a reduction in the suppression of the male seed. The growth of hormone-glandular tissue, such as prostate tissue, is prevented, which is used in prostate cancer.
In the brain triggering cyproterone acetate blocked the binding sites of testosterone, that stimulate sexual reactions and ability to experience. It has a dampening drive and is used in men with abnormal or pathological increase in sex drive for inhibition.
Cyproterone acetate in women also causes a weakening of the male hormone action in the body.
