Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that androcur does not interact with betablockers. So, it is safe to take these drugs concomitantly.

From the other hand, dry skin is a known adverse effect of androcur.

I recommend discussing with your attending physician on these issues.

You can use a hydrating cream for the skin, if androcur doses can not be lowered.

A dermatologist consult is needed to exclude other possible causes of dry skin and the proper management options.

You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
