Ciproterone acetate is a synthetic hormone used for androgen suppression and regulation of female hormones.
MFDS ingredient code M222867
Ciproterone acetate is a hormone component of the synthetic progestin class, primarily used to regulate the hormonal balance in women. It functions as both a follicle-stimulating hormone and a luteal hormone, suppressing the action of androgens to treat certain hormone-related disorders.
This component binds to androgen receptors in the body to block the action of androgens. Additionally, it helps balance female hormones through actions similar to progesterone, aiding in the regulation of the menstrual cycle and relief of hormone-related symptoms.
Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
Unlike simple progestins, ciproterone acetate has androgen suppression effects, making it specialized for treating symptoms caused by excess male hormones. This characteristic distinguishes it from standard luteal hormones.
