Bayer is discontinuing Androcur 10mg

Androcur 10mg (which contains cyproteronacetate) is being discontinued by Bayer because it isn't economical for them to produce anymore. I hate it. It's the anti androgen that's pretty much the standard for feminizing hormone therapy here in Germany and I believe even in Europe.

Edit: here is the email in German that they sent me after I asked them through their contact form:

10

10mg were unfortunatly never avaiable in Austria - shame that now production ends Germany as well.

We have 50mg tablets, which isn't a dose recommended for transfemmes so every 4 doses you have to split them one of them using a tablet slicer. It's tedious, but it works.

Isn't it not really advised because of side effects?

In France for example it's really not standard at all, and decapeptyl or bica are used more often.

Nah all my friends r on androcur and it seems to be good

it can cause brain tumors and has some other issues too. others are preferable

diy injections or bica, or cypro 50mg divided into 4 taken daily or every other day.
