Androcur 100 mg is an antiandrogen medicine containing the active ingredient cyproterone acetate. It is prescribed for the treatment of the prostate gland. It can also be used in combination with other medications or following surgical removal of the testes to treat side effects such as hot flushes or sweats and to prevent any initial worsening of the problem. Androcur 100 mg works in two ways:
    –   It stops the testosterone hormone present in your body from being able to adhere to the cancer cells.Â
   –   By an effect on the hormonal mechanisms production of androgen hormones by the body, it lowers the amount of androgen hormone present in your blood.Â
This anticancer medicine should only be taken by men. It is not meant to be taken by women or children. Â

After consuming food, the tablet should be swallowed with a glass of water. Androcur helps to control your condition but does not cure it. It is important to keep taking this anticancer medicine even if you feel well. Â

There are also cases of liver damage in men with liver cancer. Liver damage may be life-threatening in some cases. Such adverse effects are more likely to develop when using high doses of cyproterone and usually several months after treatment has begun.      Â
