Treatment of Moderately Severe Virilism of Women with Diane and Androcur 10

In a study conducted from 1980-1982, 20 female patients suffering from acne, seborrhea, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia were treated with 1 tablet of Androcur 10 (10 mg cyproteronacetate) daily, in the first 15 days applied together with Diane (0,05 mg ethinylestradiol and 2 mg cyproteronacetate). After 2 years, the results showed an improvement of acne in 80% of the cases, of seborrhea in 95%, and of both hirsutism and androgenic alopecia in 45% each. The study concluded that this therapy holds an important place between the therapy with Diane alone and the usual supplementary dose of 50 mg cyproteronacetate (Androcur) daily.
