Diéthylstilbestrol
Le diéthylstilbestrol (DES) est un diphénol de synthèse aux propriétés œstrogéniques puissantes. Synthétisé au Royaume-Uni en 1938, il fut d'abord commercialisé en tant que médicament dans ce pays sous le nom de Stilbestrol-Borne, puis dans d'autres pays (dont la France) sous le nom de Distilbène ou encore de Stilboestrol. D'abord prescrit par des médecins en 1938 aux femmes qui subissaient des avortements spontanés à répétition (aussi appelés fausses couches) ou des accouchements prématurés, le DES fut alors considéré comme un moyen sûr de prévenir ces avortements spontanés à répétition et de réduire les menaces d'accouchements prématurés.
Estradiol valerate
Estradiol valerate (EV), sold for use by mouth under the brand name Progynova and Primiwal E4 and for use by injection under the brand names Delestrogen and Progynon Depot among others, is an estrogen medication. It is used in hormone therapy for menopausal symptoms and low estrogen levels, hormone therapy for transgender people, and in hormonal birth control. It is also used in the treatment of prostate cancer. The medication is taken by mouth or by injection into muscle or fat once every 1 to 4 weeks.
Estradiol undecylate
Estradiol undecylate (EU or E2U), also known as estradiol undecanoate and formerly sold under the brand names Delestrec and Progynon Depot 100 among others, is an estrogen medication which has been used in the treatment of prostate cancer in men. It has also been used as a part of hormone therapy for transgender women. Although estradiol undecylate has been used in the past, it was discontinued and hence is no longer available. The medication has been given by injection into muscle usually once a month.
Nonsteroidal antiandrogen
A nonsteroidal antiandrogen (NSAA) is an antiandrogen with a nonsteroidal chemical structure. They are typically selective and full or silent antagonists of the androgen receptor (AR) and act by directly blocking the effects of androgens like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). NSAAs are used in the treatment of androgen-dependent conditions in men and women. They are the converse of steroidal antiandrogens (SAAs), which are antiandrogens that are steroids and are structurally related to testosterone.
Steroidal antiandrogen
A steroidal antiandrogen (SAA) is an antiandrogen with a steroidal chemical structure. They are typically antagonists of the androgen receptor (AR) and act both by blocking the effects of androgens like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and by suppressing gonadal androgen production. SAAs lower concentrations of testosterone through simulation of the negative feedback inhibition of the hypothalamus. SAAs are used in the treatment of androgen-dependent conditions in men and women, and are also used in veterinary medicine for the same purpose.
Pilule combinée
La pilule combinée ou pilule œstroprogestative est, avec la pilule progestative, la troisième méthode contraceptive la plus utilisée au monde après la stérilisation et le DIU. Elle contient les deux hormones de synthèse (un œstrogène et un progestatif, qui imitent les hormones féminines que sont l'œstradiol et la progestérone, sécrétées naturellement par les ovaires de la femme), qui sont à l'origine du blocage de l'ovulation induit par la prise de la pilule combinée.
Nandrolone decanoate
Nandrolone decanoate, sold under the brand name ROLON among others, is an androgen and anabolic steroid (AAS) medication which is used primarily in the treatment of anemias and wasting syndromes, as well as osteoporosis in menopausal women. It is given by injection into muscle or fat once every one to four weeks. Side effects of nandrolone decanoate may include symptoms of masculinization like acne, increased hair growth, voice changes, and decreased sexual desire due to its ability to suppress endogenous testosterone synthesis while not being a sufficient androgen itself.
Antimineralocorticoid
An antimineralocorticoid, also known as a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA or MCRA) or aldosterone antagonist, is a diuretic drug which antagonizes the action of aldosterone at mineralocorticoid receptors. This group of drugs is often used as adjunctive therapy, in combination with other drugs, for the management of chronic heart failure. Spironolactone, the first member of the class, is also used in the management of hyperaldosteronism (including Conn's syndrome) and female hirsutism (due to additional antiandrogen actions).
Hormonosubstitution (dysphorie de genre)
vignette|Seringue, parfois utilisée pour l'hormonosubstitution dans le cadre d'injections intramusculaires. L’hormonosubstitution, thérapie hormonale substitutive ou encore hormonothérapie est un traitement hormonal médical traitement médical destiné à entraîner une féminisation ou une masculinisation du corps d'une personne trans, en influençant l'aspect des caractères sexuels secondaires. Sa mise en place se fait généralement sous la surveillance d'un professionnel de santé.
Methyltestosterone
Methyltestosterone, sold under the brand names Android, Metandren, and Testred among others, is an androgen and anabolic steroid (AAS) medication which is used in the treatment of low testosterone levels in men, delayed puberty in boys, at low doses as a component of menopausal hormone therapy for menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, osteoporosis, and low sexual desire in women, and to treat breast cancer in women. It is taken by mouth or held in the cheek or under the tongue.
