What happens when you take an anti-androgen?

Several effects. : Antiandrogens act by blocking the binding of testosterone & Dht to the androgen receptor. This is used in advanced prostate cancer, usually in combination with other medications in androgren deprivation therapy (adt). It serves to slow the progression of prostate cancer and delay metastases. Side effects include loss of libido, impotence, hot flashes, and breast tenderness & gynecomastia.

Blocks Testosterone : Anti androgens block the production of testosterone and its utilization in the periphery. So essentially the is no testosterone available and its effects on the body and tissues are blocked.
