Treatment of idiopathic hirsute women with two combinations of cyproterone acetate.

The effect of two combinations, reverse sequential and monophasic, with cyproterone-acetate, have been studied in a group of 14 women suffering from idiopathic hirsutism. The results obtained prove that both combinations have ovulation blocking properties, by decreasing the FSH, LH, progesterone and oestrogen levels, but also have favourable effects in the treatment of hirsutism. The reverse sequential combination showed an increase in the prolactin figures, although these figures were within normal limits.
