Chemical castration involves injecting anti-androgen drugs that suppress the production of testosterone as long as the drugs are administered.
This reduces the person’s sexual drive. But the injections need to be repeated after a certain period, which is usually between one and three months.
The doctor informed that the most common drugs used for chemical castration in European countries is cyproterone acetate, while medroxy progesterone acetate is preferred in the US.
Many developed countries including, the US, UK and Germany have experimented with chemical castration of rapists and molestors, particularly serial offenders, child rapists and pedophiles.
