    Glossary Oral Antiandrogens

    medications taken orally to block male hormones like testosterone

    Oral antiandrogens are medications taken by mouth that block the effects of androgens, which are male hormones like testosterone. These drugs are often used to treat conditions like androgenic alopecia (hair loss), prostate cancer, and hirsutism (excessive hair growth) by reducing the influence of androgens on the body.
