What are the subcategories of andregenic drugs indicated for?

Cosmetic procedures
Neuropsychiatric disorders
Inflammatory diseases
Hypertension and glaucoma

The correct answer is: Hypertension and glaucoma

Androgenic drugs are a type of medication that mimic the effects of the male hormone testosterone. These drugs are commonly used to treat conditions related to hormonal imbalances, such as hypogonadism, breast cancer, and advanced prostate cancer. This makes options A, B, and C incorrect as these conditions do not fall under the scope of androgenic drug indications. Option D is the correct answer as hypertension, or high blood pressure, and glaucoma, a condition that damages the optic nerve, are both conditions that can be treated with androgenic drugs. It is important to follow the drug indications and only use medications for their intended purposes.
