Understanding the use of androgens, SARMs and peptides by Australian males

The use of performance and image enhancing drugs (PIEDs) — including androgens, selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs), and peptides — is on the rise among Australian males. These substances are often sourced through illicit and unreliable networks, yet many users approach their use with remarkable diligence, seeking to maximise benefits and minimise harms. Despite this, they commonly report frustration with the limited knowledge of healthcare providers.

General practitioners are a trusted source of information for these patients, placing GPs in a vital position to provide evidence-based guidance, minimise harm, and improve patient outcomes.

Delivered by Healthy Male, this webinar will equip GPs with essential knowledge of the biological actions, adverse effects, and complexities of PIED use. You will gain insights into the patterns and motivations behind the use of these substances, and develop greater confidence in managing the health needs of men engaging in these practices.

What you will learn:

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• describe the biological actions of androgens, SARMs and peptides used for performance and image enhancement
  

• identify the adverse effects associated with androgens, SARMs and peptides
  

• recognise the complexities surrounding PIED use in Australian males
  

• apply practical knowledge to improve confidence in treating male patients who use these substances
  

Why attend:

• Stay informed about the emerging trends in PIED use among Australian men
  

• Improve patient-centred care and support harm minimisation strategies
  

• Enhance your clinical confidence when managing conversations about PIED use
  

• Interact with the expert panel via live Q&A throughout the webinar

Who should attend:

General practitioners, GP registrars, and primary healthcare providers involved in men’s health.

This is a Medcast Continuing Medical Education (CME) course.
