Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Pharmacology

Context:

  • Gynecomastia is a common clinical finding in men.
  • Drug-induced gynecomastia is a frequent cause of this condition.

Purpose:

  • To review the spectrum of drugs known to cause gynecomastia.
  • To elucidate the mechanisms by which these agents induce gynecomastia.

Summary:

  • This review synthesizes current literature on pharmacologic agents implicated in gynecomastia development.
  • It details specific drug classes and individual medications associated with gynecomastia.
  • Mechanisms discussed include hormonal pathway interference and direct glandular effects.

Impact:

  • Provides a comprehensive resource for clinicians managing drug-induced gynecomastia.
  • Aids in understanding the etiological factors of gynecomastia.
  • Informs drug development and prescribing practices to minimize endocrine side effects.
