Brief Answer:
Supportive care

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Androcur also called cyproterone acetate is an antiandrogen and like any other injection in muscle, it is painful and pain last for a couple of hours. Apply some ice at injection site and take some tylenol for the pain. If the injection site swells or change color or pain does not subside after 24 hours, visit a doctor nearby and let them have a look.

I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

Thanks. I ordered androcur Depot online and it came from Bulgaria via Bayer company. Hope the solution is fine that I injected? Thanks

No, I ordered it online on my own. I was on androcur tablets earlier but they weren't effective. So, that's why I ordered androcur Depot online as its not available in Australia. What other medications do you recommend to reduce sexual desire? 33 male.

I hope you have been using it with prescription of your doctor as the list of adverse effects with this anti androgen analogue is long and worrisome. Stay in touch with your doctor and avoid self medication.

I hope it helps.

if you are ordering it online with out any doctors consult, i am afraid you are doing wrong, its main aim is to control hirsutism. It should not be used or self medicated with just to controls exual desire that too with out doctors advice. Avoid it and consult a sex therapist to help you with your sexual cravings.

I hope it helps.

Get evaluated

Thank you for getting back to me

Injection site complications leading to paralysis are very rare and starts immediately after wrongful injection. If so far so good, then no worries. Only worry one can have of is an injection abscess etc, that can be easily ruled out by simply visiting an ER nearby and let them have a look , i am sure it wont be any thing to worry about. No harm in getting it assessed.

Also i would recommend to avoid self injecting unless emergency.

I hope it helps.
