Please read the information leaflet in the box with each medication, or talk to your doctor if you have any concerns about side effects.
Possible side effects of Cyproterone acetate
Each person's reaction to any medication is different. Many people have very few side effects with Cyprostat, while others may experience more. The side effects described in this factsheet will not affect everyone and may be different if you are having more than one drug.
We have outlined the most common side effects. However, we have not included those that are very rare and therefore extremely unlikely to affect you. If you notice any effects that you think may be due to the drug, but which are not listed in this information, please discuss them with your doctor or nurse.
You will see your doctor regularly while you have this treatment so that they can monitor the effects. This information should help you to discuss any queries about your treatment and its side effects with your doctor or nurse, as they are in the best position to help and advise you.
Some people may have some of the side effects listed below:
Breast tenderness or fullness Some men may notice slight breast swelling and tenderness, known as gynaecomastia. Your doctor can prescribe medicine to reduce any discomfort.
Tiredness You may feel less energetic than usual and it is important to take time to rest. This usually subsides when the treatment is stopped.
Breathlessness You may have a feeling of mild breathlessness while you are taking Cyprostat treatment. This will disappear if the treatment is stopped.
Nausea (feeling sick), vomiting and diarrhoea These effects are rare and if they occur are usually mild and easily controlled. Nausea can sometimes be relieved by taking the tablet with food. Let your doctor know if you have any of these side effects, as they can prescribe medication to help.
Lowering of libido (sex drive) and impotence (a loss of ability to have an erection) If these side effects occur, sexual function will return to normal after stopping the drug. You may find that the amount you ejaculate is reduced. Your doctor or nurse can discuss this with you.
Effect on liver function Your doctor will take blood samples to test how well your liver is working, as Cyprostat can sometimes cause the amount of particular chemicals produced by the liver to change. If this happens, the drug will be stopped and the liver function will return to normal.
Ethinyloestradiol is a contraceptive.
The possible side effects are Headache, clotting disorder, weight changes Fluid retention, mood changes, gastro-intestinal upset Breast enlargement, cramp in legs, vaginal discharge
High blood pressure
