    medications that block male hormones without activating their receptors

    Nonsteroidal Antiandrogens (NSAA) are medications that block the action of androgens (male hormones like testosterone) by binding to androgen receptors without activating them. They are commonly used in the treatment of conditions like prostate cancer and androgenic alopecia (hair loss) by preventing androgens from stimulating the growth of cancer cells or hair follicles.
