Medications consist mostly of antiandrogens, drugs that block the effects of androgens like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the body, and include: * Spironolactone: An antimineralocorticoid with additional antiandrogenic activity at high dosages * Cyproterone acetate: A dual antiandrogen and progestogen. In addition to single form, it is also available in some formulations of combined oral contraceptives at a low dosage (see below). It has a risk of liver damage. * Flutamide: A pure antiandrogen. It has been found to possess equivalent or greater effectiveness than spironolactone, cyproterone acetate, and finasteride in the treatment of hirsutism. However, it has a high risk of liver damage and hence is no longer recommended as a first- or second-line treatment. Flutamide is safe and effective. * Bicalutamide: A pure antiandrogen. It is effective similarly to flutamide but is much safer as well as better-tolerated. * Birth control pills that consist of an estrogen, usually ethinylestradiol, and a progestin are supported by the evidence. They are functional antiandrogens. In addition, certain birth control pills contain a progestin that also has antiandrogenic activity. Examples include birth control pills containing cyproterone acetate, chlormadinone acetate, drospirenone, and dienogest. * Finasteride and dutasteride: 5α-Reductase inhibitors. They inhibit the production of the potent androgen DHT. A meta-analysis showed inconsistent results of finasteride in the treatment of hirsutism. * GnRH analogues: Suppress androgen production by the gonads and reduce androgen concentrations to castrate levels. * Metformin: Antihyperglycemic drug used for diabetes mellitus and treatment of hirsutism associated with insulin resistance (e.g.<unk><unk><unk> . Metformin appears ineffective in the treatment of hirsutism, although the evidence was of low quality. * Eflornithine: Blocks putrescine that is necessary for the growth of hair follicles Other methods * Epilation * Waxing * Shaving * Laser hair removal * Electrology * Lifestyle change, including reducing excessive weight and addressing insulin resistance, may be beneficial. Insulin resistance can cause excessive testosterone levels in women, resulting in hirsutism.
