Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Androcur and Aldactone decrease the production of androgens, the hormones that cause the increase in body hair. However thisccombination is not adequate - you also need to be on oral contraceptive pills (that contain the female hormones estrogen and progesterone), which have been proven to be the most effective in reducing hirsutism. Usually, it takes about 6 months for you to notice significant difference. Please discuss using OCPs with your treating physician.
