Andractim is a topical form of the powerful steroid compound DHT. There is a major disadvantage to using Andractim as a steroid – it doesn’t metabolize in the body long enough to make it to the muscles. However it does have the advantage of not converting to estrogen in the body and may even have an estrogen suppressing effect. This topical is also sometimes used to treat gynecomastia.

 

Andractim (Dihydrotestosterone – DHT)

Andractim, a topical gel formulation of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), is a synthetic androgen commonly used for conditions requiring localized androgenic effects. DHT, a potent metabolite of testosterone, is known for its strong androgenic properties and minimal conversion to estrogen, making Andractim unique among androgen therapies.

This medication is primarily used in medical treatments, such as managing gynecomastia, androgen deficiency, or delayed puberty in males. Andractim works by directly delivering DHT to targeted tissues, stimulating androgen receptors to promote male characteristics or inhibit excess estrogenic effects. Its topical application minimizes systemic absorption, reducing risks of widespread hormonal imbalance.

Andractim’s benefits include localized effectiveness and reduced risk of side effects associated with systemic androgen therapies, such as liver strain or significant hormonal fluctuations. However, its use may lead to skin irritation, hair loss, or prostate-related concerns. Prolonged or excessive application can also increase the risk of androgen-related side effects, including oily skin and acne.

Andractim is not widely available in some regions due to regulatory restrictions and limited demand. Its usage is mostly niche, focusing on specific medical cases or off-label applications within bodybuilding and hormone optimization.

Andractim (DHT) gel offers localized androgenic effects, treating gynecomastia, hormone deficiencies, and male characteristics.
