Cyproterone is a progestogen with anti-androgenic properties.Oestradiol is the major oestrogen in pre-menopausal women.

Ethinylestradiol has similar actions as oestradiol. It is responsible for the development and maintenance of female reproductive system and secondary sexual characteristics. It also inhibits anterior pituitary by negative feedback effect and causes capillary dilation, fluid retention and protein anabolism.

How Neynna works

The direct antiandrogenic effect of cyproterone is blockage of the binding of dihydrotestosterone to the specific receptors in the prostatic carcinoma cell. In addition, cyproterone exerts a negative feed-back on the hypothalamo-pituitary axis, by inhibiting the secretion of luteinizing hormone resulting in diminished production of testicular testosterone.

Dosage

Neynna dosage

Acne, Contraception, Hirsutism: 2 mg/day (with ethinylestradiol) for 21 days of the menstrual cycle.

Palliative treatment for prostatic carcinoma: Initial: 300 mg/day in 2-3 divided doses. Maintenance: 200-300 mg/day.

Precaution

Prostate cancer, hepatic impairment, DM, history of depression, familial defects in lipoprotein metabolism, CV diseases. Monitor LFT, adrenocortical function, LDL and HDL levels, and RBC count during treatment. In women: Interrupt treatment if persistent or recurrent bleeding occurs to exclude the possibility of organic diseases. May increase risk of thrombo-embolic diseases. Ineffective for male hypersexuality in chronic alcoholism. May impair ability to drive or operate machinery. Pregnancy, lactation.

Interaction

Metabolism may be reduced by inhibitors of CYP3A4 e.g. ketoconazole, itraconazole, clotrimazole, ritonavir. Inducers of CYP3A4 e.g. rifampicin, phenytoin may reduce the levels of cyproterone.

CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 inducers such as aminoglutethimide, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, and rifampin may decrease the effects of estradiol. May enhance the effects of hydrocortisone and prednisolone when used together. Altered anticoagulant effect when used with dicoumarol.

Potentially Fatal: Antibiotics (ampicillin, tetracycline, sulphonamides and chloramphenicol) can cause intermenstrual bleeding or failure of contraception. Reduced efficacy of antihypertensives or hypoglycaemic drugs.
