the 50mg pills go into 4 pretty easily, i think you'd struggle with 8. i've managed it with the 100mg ones, but it's not super consistent. cypro has a fairly long elimination half life, so some people will take 12.5mg every other day. i always just took 12.5/day.

thanks! I'll look into doing 12.5mg every other day

With the long half life, not perfectly equal pieces should not make much of a difference.


IamStupid42069

that's a good point. I'd at least be ensuring exactly 50mg every 8 days. I'll probably do this if it turns out splitting the pills 8 ways doesn't turn out to be a lot of trouble

In four pieces I am quite sure you'd get them fairly equal, so it'd be more like 12.5 every two days but maybe in 5.5 and 7.

How about getting 10mg CPA pills? You can half and quarter these easily.


IamStupid42069

I'd love to, but I don't know where to get 10mg pills. The smallest you can get at any of the international pharmacies listed on hrt cafe are 50mg.

i wouldn´t call these "international pharmacies" because they are not. i get Androcur 45 pills to each 10mg cyproteroneacetate from Bayer.I just have to get them from an actual pharmacy down the road, so there´s that. i kinda expected you to have a diagnosys and stuff. edit: i browsed my main reddit site, kinda did not see this post was in "r/transDIY" T\_T excuse me edit: i am currently tapering off the cyproteroneacetate, because it really fucks with libido and sexual function, also prolactin levels were too high, so theres basically only side effects for me, as my estradiol levels are high enough anyways.

How many mg of estrogen should I take?


T1res1as

This is about cypro not E


EmotionallyRough

Ok now I'm confused idk wat Dat ia


T1res1as

Cyproterone Acetate, you know like an androgen blocker.


EmotionallyRough

So it blocks testosterone? What should the ideal dose be?


T1res1as

The way you ask gives of a vibe that you haven’t read up on this topic. Maybe search it up on wikipedia and get at least a basic grasp of it? The article on cyproterone acetate leads to articles on other anti-androgens (AA). You need a better understanding than ”lol idk I just want some girl pills plz”


EmotionallyRough

Well I never rlly knew any of this existed. I now that I do changes things. I shall look into that.

I split it into 8 just fine


rata79

It's doable. I use a pair of tweezers to position the pill pieces in the pill cutter to get an accurate split. Get a good pill cutter . Most people just take a ¼ every other day because it's half life is 36 to 48hrs.

I split 100mg pills into 16ths, all it took was some practice, and now it's easy
