Question:
In adults with sexually offending/inappropriate or physically aggressive behaviour, how effective is cyproterone acetate compared with any other intervention in reducing sexually offending/inappropriate behaviour?
Answer:
There is insufficient evidence
available to make clinical recommendations on the use of
cyproterone acetate in adults with sexually offending/inappropriate
behaviour. Due to a lack of evidence, the authors of one systematic
review stated that anti-libidinal drug treatments should be used
with caution. They also stated that it would be worth evaluating
this treatment in a well-conducted long-term randomised controlled
trial.
