Cyproterone to reduce male sex drive?

Abstract

Cyproterone acetate (Androcur - Schering) is a powerful anti-androgen intended for the control of excessive or unwanted sexual behaviour in males. Its value in the treatment of other androgen-dependent conditions, such as precocious puberty, idiopathic hirsutism, acne and prostatic disease, is being investigated, but the drug is not yet generally available for these purposes.*
