Liver function tests should be performedpre-treatment and whenever any symptoms or signs suggestive ofhepatotoxicity occur. If hepatotoxicity is confirmed, cyproterone acetate shouldnormally be withdrawn, unless the hepatotoxicity can be explained by anothercause, e.g. metastatic disease, in which case cyproterone acetate should becontinued only if the perceived benefit outweighs the risk.National Pharmaceutical Control Bureau (NPCB)First Edition, January 2013 Page | 367
