i don't have an answer for your question, but do you take the 50mg Androcur daily? Because that would be way too much, a tenth of that or even less is usually enough to suppress t. higher doses only increase risk of side effects.
My COntact told me its best to take these 50mg simply once a Week or so :P
But i overall have no Idea what im even doing at this Point XD
Androcur is really easy to cut with a pill cutter, that way you can take a quarter pill every two days instead of the entire pill once a week. When my doctor prescribed me androcur they told me to take it like this
Just gonna write this in case it helps, my dose for cypro is 12.5mg every two days (so a quarter pill every 2 days). It's really really important with cypro that your liver has time to clear ALL of it from your body before you take more. If not it begins to build up in your system and can lead to prolactinoma and meningiomas which are benign tumors in the pituitary gland and the brain.
The point of the 12.5 mg every 2 days is that by the time you hit day two you're cleared of the dose completely so there can't ever be build-up. This mitigates the risk almost completely. 50mg per week is roughly the same dose so in theory your liver should have enough time to clear it, but it's not the way my doctor told me i should take it.
It's a really potent anti-androgen, the low dose will still nuke your T levels so err on the side of caution if you're not being supervised by a doctor. Best of luck with your journey.
arlight then :D
ill take this into consideration thanks :D
