Hormone blockers, also known in some contexts as puberty blockers, are used by transsexuals to block various sex hormones. For instance spironolactone, a diuretic, is often prescribed to male-to-female transgender persons to block androgens or male hormones.
A hormone replacement therapy (HRT) regimen usually consists of at least two prescription drugs: hormone blockers to block the original hormones, plus a new, replacement hormone in the desired gender. For instance, an M2F transgender patient may be given spironolactone to block male hormones (androgens, testosterone) plus a female hormone such as estrogen (Premarin, a drug made from pregnant mares' urine, for example).
Once the original genitals (testicles or ovaries) are removed, the blocker is discontinued, leaving just the hormone replacement.
