Reversible Effects

Meaning

Reversible effects, in the context of hormonal therapy and physiological intervention, refer to the biological or clinical changes induced by a treatment or lifestyle modification that will cease or regress toward the baseline state upon the discontinuation of that intervention. This principle is a cornerstone of clinical safety and ethical prescribing, ensuring that the patient’s endogenous hormonal axis and overall physiology can recover its natural function if therapy is stopped. Understanding reversibility is critical for managing patient expectations and risk. This is a fundamental consideration in all endocrine replacement protocols.
