OBJECTIVE: To compare the long-term (1 year) effects of flutamide (250 mg/d) and finasteride (5 mg/d) for the treatment of hirsutism in women.
DESIGN: Randomized, prospective clinical study.
SETTING: Departments of Gynecology and Obstetrics and Endocrinology at Erciyes University Medical Faculty, Kayseri, Turkey.
PATIENT(S): Seventy patients with hirsutism were studied.
INTERVENTION(S): Thirty-five patients were treated with flutamide (250 mg/d) and 35 patients with finasteride (5 mg/d) for 12 months. Hirsutism score, hormone levels, and multiscreen blood chemistry were measured at 3-month intervals.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Reduction in hair growth.
RESULT(S): The modified Ferriman-Gallwey scores for hirsutism decreased significantly at months 6 and 12 from a mean +/- SD of 17. 8 +/- 5.8 to 6.0 +/- 3.4 and 17.8 +/- 5.8 to 4.8 +/- 3.2, respectively, in group 1; and from 19.1 +/- 6.1 to 14.2 +/- 4.9 and 19.1 +/- 6.1 to 11.3 +/- 5.0 in group 2, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences in any of the hormonal indices in group 1, but in group 2, E(2) and sex hormone-binding globulin increased significantly while DHEAS decreased significantly at 12 months of therapy.
CONCLUSION(S): This study shows that flutamide (250 mg/d) is more effective than finasteride (5 mg/d) in reducing hair growth. We conclude that flutamide (250 mg/d) may represent a more effective and well tolerated treatment for patients.
