Ancillary Hormone Therapy

Meaning

Ancillary Hormone Therapy refers to pharmacological agents used in conjunction with a primary hormone regimen, or during a post-treatment recovery phase, to mitigate specific side effects or restore endogenous hormonal function. These agents are not the primary therapeutic hormone but rather supporting medications to maintain physiological balance and minimize adverse clinical outcomes. In the realm of men’s health, this often involves the use of selective estrogen receptor modulators or aromatase inhibitors alongside testosterone replacement or anabolic steroid use. This strategic application ensures that the overall endocrine system remains in a healthier, more functional state.
