    Glossary Antiandrogenic

    substances inhibit male sex hormones like testosterone

    Antiandrogenic refers to substances or treatments that inhibit the effects of androgens, which are male sex hormones like testosterone. These substances can be used to treat conditions like androgenic alopecia (hair loss) and prostate cancer by blocking the action of these hormones, thereby reducing their influence on hair follicles and other tissues.
