Spironolactone is the standard drug in US. It’s an offlabel use of a diuretic BP medication. Makes you pee a lot and can cause hyperkalemia (too much potassium because it spares it). Other countries use cyproterone acetate. Powerful T blocker with a bit of progesterone in it. GNRH antagonists can be used to block puberty or otherwise interfere with the hormones that lead to T production in the testes. They all work by screwing up a feedback loop more or less. You block the androgen receptors and your body actually raises T levels but it can’t do anything... detects the high levels of T and stops the request to produce more... something like that!
Body builders have to watch out for too high levels of T. There’s an enzyme called aromotase that converts T to E and that’s where gynecomastia happens. Transwomen konda exploit the same physiology, but actually want to make it happen without getting ripped in the process.
