Celofem 2.5mg Tablet is a medication containing Cyproterone Acetate as its active ingredient. Cyproterone Acetate is a synthetic steroidal antiandrogen and progestogen. It works by blocking the effects of androgens (male hormones) in the body and also possesses progestogenic activity. This dual action makes it effective in managing conditions where excess androgens are a contributing factor.
Celofem 2.5mg is primarily indicated for the treatment of conditions such as severe hirsutism (excessive hair growth) in women, severe acne, and androgenetic alopecia (male-pattern baldness) in women, particularly when other treatments have been unsuccessful. It is also used in combination with ethinylestradiol for hormonal contraception in women with moderate to severe acne and hirsutism.
