Androcur 50mg is an anti-androgen tablet that blocks the effects of male hormones in the body. Doctors prescribe it for advanced prostate cancer in men, severe androgen-related skin or hair conditions in women, and to reduce excessive sex drive in specific cases. Regular liver function tests are required, and treatment must be stopped if a meningioma is diagnosed.
