Can a GP write a prescription for Azalea directly for a man?

Good morning, Can a GP write directly for a man a prescription for Azalea or other preparation containing 75mg desogestrel / Desogestrel (eg Azalea or Dessette) ? How often have you (as pharmacists) encountered contraceptives prescribed to a man? I wonder how my family doctor will react, if something can forbid her to be discharged? Who can you ask?

First of all, we should ask ourselves what indications a man would use female sex hormones from the group of progestins. In theory, the doctor is not limited by the specialty in issuing prescriptions, but should be guided by current medical knowledge, the patient's state of health, and if he prescribes a drug outside the registered indications - he takes responsibility for such conduct. The drug Azalia has indications established by the manufacturer for the prevention of pregnancy, which in a man is not possible. If the drug would cause any hormonal effects - antigonadotropic or anti-estrogen - and you have indications from an endocrinologist or other specialist, they issue special cards for family doctors with information about the diagnosis and the therapy ordered. You can also talk to another doctor about your situation: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja If you ask about experience - I have not met with a prescription for a preparation containing 75 mcg of desogestrel for a man.
