Elite Season 6: What Happened to Isadora In The New Season Of The Netflix Series?
Throughout season 6, Isadora seeks justice because the three young men who assaulted her are still free, and she creates a revenge plan. In the sixth episode, named ‘Tina’, Isadora goes to Nico to ask him to get her a “prescription” medicine; however, she does not delve into more details. When the young man realizes the girl’s plan, she tells him that he will not help her. She manages to convince him and receives the drug with which she performs a chemical castration on Hugo, one of her abusers, this is how she explains it to Dídac (Álvaro de Juan):
“A savagery is what he did to me and I want to make sure he doesn’t do it again to any other woman.”
Elite Season 6: What Did Isadora Use to Chemically Castrate Her Attacker?
Although in the episode, it is shown that the girl exchanged the medicine that Hugo injects after taking a shower, it is not mentioned which drug he used to achieve his revenge. Chemical castration, approved in some countries such as South Korea or Poland as a punishment against abusers, is intended to reduce sexual activity and libido through drugs that lower testosterone levels.
In an article published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information in the ‘National Library of Medicine’ on January 29, 2013, some of the drugs that have been used for this procedure are mentioned: diethylstilbestrol, medroxyprogesterone acetate, and cyproterone acetate. It should be remembered that in the episode in which Isadora exchanges the vials, it can be seen that the boy does not have any difficulties in injecting himself with the medicine that the young woman placed.
According to the Spanish Association of Pediatrics, in a section focused on medroxyprogesterone acetate, it is indicated that it can be administered intramuscularly. This could mean that the chemical Isadora is used as medroxyprogesterone acetate.
