Antiandrogen

A medication that inhibits the effects of endogenous androgens (such as testosterone) on the body by either blocking androgen receptors and/or suppressing androgen production. Spironolactone is an example of a medication with anti-androgenic properties—it is occasionally prescribed to some transgender people who undergo hormone replacement therapy.
