Hi there.

Thanks for the query.

These are the common side effects encountered on taking Androcur.

If you develop any other side effects that affect you more adversely, you may stop it and consult with your Doctor for alternative drug.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Thanks. I injected androcur myself first time. I ordered it online. Hope I won't get paralysis from self injecting it intramuscular on buttocks? When I touch injection site, I feel severe pain. Is it normal?

Brief Answer:
No paralysis. Apply ice and you will be fine.

Detailed Answer:
Nothing to worry about paralysis and nerve damage. Apply ice thrice a day for 15 minutes each time. Avoid strenuous activity.
