What does it do?

Clascoterone is a topical anti-androgen medication that is primarily used in the form of a topical application for the treatment of acne. Its purpose is to improve skin problems by inhibiting the action of androgen hormones.

Clascoterone binds to androgen receptors in the skin, blocking the action of the hormone. As a result, excessive activity of the sebaceous glands is reduced, leading to a decrease in acne occurrence. It acts locally and has fewer systemic side effects.
