Androcur: Uses in HRT and Safety Reminders


Una sa lahat, the information found on t is blog is not substitute to the advice of your medical professional and merely curated information to help clear issues surrounding use and misuse of the meds. 


Ang Androcur ay brand, hindi ito ang pangalan mismo ng medicine. Meaning pwedeng kasama sya ng ibang gamot like, Diane na meron ding, CYPRETORONE ACETATE. So much better if i-consider natin ang use ng Androcur as “combo” with Diane kasi you may be consuming too much of it. 


Sa totoo lang, most of the medicines na pang HRT are not really created for HRT or Hormone Replacement Therapy, malawak at maraming medical conditions kung saan sila ginagamit. At kalimitan ang intent ng manufacturer is not really for HRT but has yet been used both in conventional and non-conventional HRTs because of their SIDE EFFECTS. 


Ang cyproterone or androcur was initially prescribed talaga to inhibit androgen effects on ganodal function, usually for those with prostate cancer or other conditions that ONLY A DOCTOR can assess. In HRT, this is often used because of the similar effect, to reduce testosterone levels. Pero that is not only effect this medicine has on the body. Kaya ingat sa use. 


In short, androcur’s use must be with caution. It is not a simple drug and its side effects may have long-term to lifetime effects. Una sa lahat magkaron ng HRT goals, for the very young trans out there, I advise to really seek professional help or guardians, because the use of androcur or misuse of it might have a direct effect on your fertility or kakayahang magka anak.


Also, long-term antiandrogen use may lead to osteoporosis. Kaya doble ingat. Minimal doses. Ang dosage ng bawat isang tao ay dependent to po yan sa maraming factors like; age, weight, height and possible underlying conditions. 


Marami ang nagsasabi sa mga FB groups na nahihilo, nasusuka at may kakaibang nararamdaman pag nagtetake ng mga HRT. Ito po ay hindi biro, maaring mataas, kulang or nagimbalance hindi lang ang hormones nyo kundi ang iba pang chemistry ng katawan due to the meds.


Hindi sapat na humingi ng advice sa mga kaibigan, kahit pa sila ay gumagamit din ng HRT meds na ginagamit mo. This is because medicines lalo na sa HRT ay highly individualized. Best practice, in any case or condition, magtanong sa kakilalang nurse or sa isang doctor para maiwasan ang wrong dosage at mas maganda ang maging effects ng gamot sa iyong transition journey.

Phenokinon F: Gaano kadalas ang minsan? Gaano karami ang onte?

So sa new to phenokinon f users, usually ang common question is, gaano kadalas dapat ang pag inject? Well. Serious mode muna tayo.  Frequency ng injection pwede syang based sa amount of dosage na need. In short, only a medical professional na nagbasa ng lab test mo at nag aalaga sa endocrine system mo ang makakapagsabi. Wag na tayo maglokohan, mahirap ma achieve ang access sa doctor and most are really self-medicating. My blog is NOT promoting self-medication and treat this information as general curated information lamang sis.  Frequency ng Phenokinon F is recommended ng karamihang trans sisters who has been using it for years to be 1 ampoule every 3 to 5 days. Important na i-note natin sis na if you are also taking oral Estrogen HRT combined with the Phenok injection, reasonable naman to inject Estradiol Benzoate ng 5mg lang din talaga around 5 days. Hindi sya pwedeng madaliin, kasi tandaan ang magsa-suffer ang liver mo.  Both Estradiol Benzoate and Progesterone in P...

Phenokinon F Injections: Tama ba para sa iyong HRT?

Sa mundo ng pharma ang tawag sa pamilya ng mga gamot kasali ang Phenokinon F ay EB/P4 or mas madaling maintindihan at nakalagay din naman sa box as  Estradiol benzoate/progesterone. Marami namang gamot na ganito ang composition at prices range from affordable to very expensive tulad ng mga brand names na: Duogynon, Duogynon ampule, Duogynon forte, Duogynon simplex, Duoton Fort T P, Emmenovis, Estroprogyn, Gestrygen. Wala naman akong sina-suggest sa mga brand names na yan, gusto ko lang i-point out na Phenokinon F is just among the many brands out there na available ang hormone combo preparation na ito.  let's talk about Phenok...  Is it a good type of HRT for you? This greatly depends sa iyo sis. If keri mo ang injections, side-effects and sometimes (down time) why not!  Masakit nga ba kasi oil-based at bakit oil ang ginamit?  Yung viscosity (lapot) ng gamot ay totoong may effect and it can cause discomfort kung oil kasi, viscous ang oil. Oil ang used nila ...

Mga benefits ng HRT, pagusapan natin

Bakit marami sa Trans Pinay ang under sa HRT or Hormone Replacement Therapy?  So today, itackle natin mostly is the feminizing HRT, kasi syempre, I am a transwoman and I know little or even very little sa masculinizing besides what I may have learned from school.  Today dito sa Philippines mas madami na ang transwoman na under ng HRT because they have access to the therapeutic medicines and di rin natin madedeny na, madami narin knowledgebase circulating around the internet and among peers. So bravo! We finally achieved something good with information technology.  Hormone Replacement Therapy is one of the many ways na makapagtransition tayo to match our sense of gender identity. Physical, emotional and psychological benefits are surely there.  May mga ideal and need to be discussed components are best HRT and siguro need itong malaman ng maraming transgenders to achieve the best possible individual result.  1. Male Blockers. Antiandrogen. Antitestosterone. (mada...
