A member asked:
Which among drospirenone containing ocp or cyproterone acetate is more effective in lowering male hormones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Drospirinone : Drospirinone has more anti-testosterone effects than other types of progesterone. All progesterones will lower circulating testosterone. This particular Progesterone also competes with testosterone at the receptor level. This gives it a dual effect.
