A member asked:

Does cyproterone acetate makes men obese and hard to lose weight even with intensive diet n exercise?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Cyproterone: You should set up an appointment with a dietitian and a physical therapist. May take some time to get things corrected but over time you will be very well and happy.

Don't know: As far as I know, cyproterone acetate is not in use in USA. You will need to consult a doc in your country.
