It depends on the exact hormones in question and the goals of reducing them.
To reduce testosterone in a transsexual person, doctors would prescribe both an anti-androgen and an estrogen drug. Estrogens themselves will reduce testosterone since the feedback loop to the brain will cause less trigger hormones to be released. In turn, the testes would produce less. But high amounts would need to be given to reduce testosterone to female levels. So to get around this in preop (intact testes) transsexual women, androgen blockers are also given. They typically keep the body from being able to use testosterone and similar substances in the body, and some may also reduce the trigger hormones in the brain. So less estrogen is needed to increase female secondary characteristics and reduce testosterone.
If you mean other hormones, there are drugs to block some of them as well. There are drugs to reduce estrogen in women with Breast cancer.

The NuvaRing prevents ovulation by releasing a combination of estrogen and progestin hormones into the bloodstream.
