Anti Androgens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Two anti-androgen options seem to be more widely used than others. These are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
• Cyproterone Acetate at 100mg \u2013 150mg daily, taken orally. This one seems to carry an increased risk of depressive symptoms, and should this side effect occur, the medication is often changed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
• Spironolactone \u2013 100mg- 200mg daily, taken orally. This one might be a good option if you have high blood pressure or are concerned about blood clots or venous thromboembolism as it is a potassium-sparing diuretic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

  Other options include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  \n
  • Medroxyprogesterone \u2013 5mg \u2013 10mg daily, taken orally, or 150mg monthly via intramuscular injection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Nilutamide \u2013 300mg daily, taken orally. This one can cause androgen production in rare cases, so it is usually not the first choice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Flutamide \u2013 250mg three times daily, taken orally. This one can also potentially cause androgen production, so it is not the first choice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Estrogen Treatment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    • Ethinyl Estradiol \u2013 100 micrograms daily, taken orally. Most effective and easy to come by. It can be in the form of an oral contraceptive pill.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Conjugated Equine Estrogens \u2013 5mg t- 10mg daily, taken orally. This one is usually not advised as it increases the risk of thrombosis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 17\u00df Estradiol \u2013 2mg \u2013 8mg daily, taken orally, or 200mg monthly intramuscular injection, or 50 \u2013 100 micrograms transdermally. This is a synthetic hormone therapy. This option appears to be the most expensive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Estriol \u2013 4mg \u2013 6mg daily, taken orally. High doses are necessary for gender-affirming hormone therapy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
