Is Spironolactone Better Than Finasteride for Symptoms of Hirsutism in Transgender Women?

The document compared the effectiveness of spironolactone and finasteride for treating symptoms of hirsutism in transgender women. The authors, Kristin Eide, DO, and Patricia Adam, MD, MSPH, from the University of Minnesota, concluded that there was no clear evidence favoring one medication over the other. Both medications were used to manage hirsutism, but the choice between them depended on individual patient factors and preferences. The study did not declare any conflicts of interest.
