Gestonorone Capronate  (Synonyms: Gestonorone caproate)

Gestonorone Capronate is a progestin for the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy and endometrial cancer.

The administration of gestonorone capronate impedes testosterone reduction. The oxydation pathway remains uninfluenced. This inhibition of the formation of 5α-reduction products is present at the lowest dose of gestonorone capronate and is augmented progressively with increasing gestonorone capronate concentration^[1].
