    TLDR Finasteride is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for hirsutism.
    The document discusses the effectiveness of finasteride in treating hirsutism compared to other treatments. It suggests that finasteride is comparable to cyproterone acetate and spironolactone, with superior results noted in some studies. For instance, Moghetti et al. reported a greater decrease in hirsutism with finasteride than with flutamide (46%), cyproterone acetate (52%), and spironolactone (46%). Other studies by Wong et al. and Fruzzeti et al. showed improvements of 10% and 30%, respectively, after only 3 months of finasteride treatment. The document concludes that finasteride is not only effective but also well-tolerated and biologically plausible as a treatment for hirsutism, with its efficacy confirmed by subsequent studies.
