Does Eflornithine Help Women Face Hirsutism?

The document discusses the use of eflornithine (Vaniqa), a prescription-only topical cream, for treating women with facial hirsutism, which is the development of male-pattern facial hair in women. The promotional material for Vaniqa claims that it slows facial hair growth and boosts confidence. The document aims to evaluate whether eflornithine is effective and has a place in the management of facial hirsutism in women. However, the summary does not provide specific study results or data to support the efficacy or place of eflornithine in treatment, so it is unclear from the summary alone whether the product is indeed beneficial for this condition.
