Anti-androgen in injection form?
December 03, 2011, 06:13:25 AM
Does anyone have any info on it?
I can always ask my endo, but I'd rather get opinions on them, preferably by those who've tried them.
Are they just as effective?
Or is one better than the other?

I think there is a estrogen + anti-androgen (cyproterone acetate) injectable available. I wouldn't recommend it though, taking spiro orally isn't that bad.
I've been thinking about taking my progesterone through an injection rather then taken orally but idk if i wanna add another poke and prick routine to my regime.

there isn't an injectable antiandrogen but ones that basicly tell the body to turn off the gonads. the cost compared to spiro/cypro isn't worth it unless it's covered by private or public insurance scheme.

GnRH agonists are available in a depot (time release injectable) form.
