Osaterone acetate

Osaterone acetate, sold under the brand name Ypozane, is a medication which is used in veterinary medicine for the treatment of enlarged prostate in dogs.

[1][3][7][8] Osaterone acetate is used in veterinary medicine for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in dogs.

[3][5][6] It has been found to produce remission of clinical symptoms of BPH in 83% of dogs for six months after a single one-week course of treatment,[9] and can be used long-term.

[3] Osaterone acetate treats BPH in dogs by reducing the actions of androgens in the prostate gland.

[1][8] Osaterone acetate was also investigated in Japan in the treatment of prostate cancer and BPH in humans but was ultimately never marketed for such purposes.
