If you suffer from man boobs, you are probably wondering if any drugs exist that can help you treat the condition. This is of course, if you would rather not have surgery. Fortunately for you, medical research shows that there are drugs that can be used for male breast reduction. It doesn’t matter if the male has pubertal gynecomastia or developed extra male breast tissue as an adult.
So what drugs can possibly be used for the treatment of gynecomastia?
There are many, but in this article, we will focus on tamoxifen.
Tamoxifen is a medicine that was originally developed for the treatment of breast cancer. The effect of the medication is that it prevents the binding between estrogen and its receptor. Therefore, this prevents the breast cancer cells from growing.
For gynecomastia, tamoxifen has been used in several applications. One of the popular brand names that tamoxifen is sold under is Nolvadex. It has been used to treat gynecomastia in men who developed gynecomastia as a result of undergoing prostate cancer treatment. In one study, ten patients were monitored for a certain time period while they took tamoxifen. Most of the patients had smaller breasts at the end. Bodybuilders also use the drug to prevent gynecomastia that is caused as a result of steroid use. Now listen to this! Tamoxifen is also used to prevent chest fat in sex offenders who are undergoing chemical castration. Now, do we really care if sex offenders have gynecomastia? I ‘ll let you think about that one.
Tamoxifen could potentially be an excellent alternative to gynecomastia surgical treatment. You should only take it if you are in good health. Consult your physician more more information.
