Hormonal Agents

Hormonal agents are medications that influence or modify hormone activity in the body to treat various health conditions. They work by either supplying hormones, blocking their effects, or adjusting their levels to restore balance. These agents are used in conditions like hormone-sensitive cancers, menopause symptoms, or hormone deficiencies. For example, some medications inhibit estrogen or testosterone to slow cancer growth, while others replace hormones to manage menopause symptoms or hormonal imbalances. Overall, hormonal agents play a crucial role in targeting specific hormonal pathways to achieve desired therapeutic outcomes.
