    GlossarySystemic Antiandrogens

    medications that reduce male hormone effects body-wide

    Systemic antiandrogens are medications that reduce the effects of androgens (male hormones) throughout the entire body. They are commonly used to treat conditions like androgenic alopecia (hair loss), prostate cancer, and severe acne by blocking androgen receptors or inhibiting androgen production. These therapies can be crucial for managing hormone-related disorders and are often referred to as systemic anti-androgen therapy.
