Hi I found this information regarding serious side effects
Meningioma There is a rare but serious, cumulative dose-dependent risk of developing meningioma (a type of non-cancerous brain tumor), especially with prolonged use of doses 25 mg/day and above.
Liver Damage Direct liver toxicity, including jaundice, hepatitis, and liver failure, has been reported in rare cases, particularly at doses of 100 mg and above.
Blood Clots The medication can increase the risk of venous thromboembolism (blood clots).
Adrenal Suppression High doses can lead to adrenal insufficiency if stopped abruptly.
Patients should be monitored regularly with blood tests for liver function and hormone levels. Treatment with all cyproterone-containing products is contraindicated in individuals with a history of meningioma.
So basically you need to be monitored very closely if you going to go on it. It does promote female development very well of course but like anything caution is best with a decent endocrinologist.
Good luck on your transition Andrea I'm sure it will be worth the journey
