Antiandrogen therapy and estrogen therapy are known to produce demasculinizing and feminizing effects in the skin and on hair follicle distribution in people assigned male at birth. [66] Androgens are involved in regulation of the skin (e.g., sebum production), and antiandrogens are known to be associated with skin changes. [58]
The side effects of cyproterone acetate (CPA), a steroidal antiandrogen and progestin, including its frequent and rare side effects, have been studied and characterized.It is generally well-tolerated and has a mild side-effect profile, regardless of dosage, when it used as a progestin or antiandrogen in combination with an estrogen such as ethinylestradiol or estradiol valerate in women.
Bicalutamide is used primarily in the treatment of early and advanced prostate cancer.

[26] [27] Vosilasarm has been found to have varying full agonist and partial agonist AR-mediated effects in different tissues, including potent agonistic and anabolic activity in muscle and bone, potent agonistic effects in AR-expressing human breast cancer cell lines, and partial agonist or antagonist activity in the prostate gland and seminal ...

Those that have advanced to human trials show stronger effects in bone and muscle tissue and weaker effects in the prostate. [ 8 ] Unlike most current forms of testosterone replacement, SARMs are orally bioavailable [ 7 ] and largely eliminated via hepatic metabolism and metabolized through amide hydrolysis in the case of arylpropionamides and ...
Androgen replacement therapy (ART), often referred to as testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), is a form of hormone therapy in which androgens, often testosterone, are supplemented or replaced.
