An assessment of (1) cyproterone acetate and (2) ethinyl oestradiol and lynoestrenol (Minilyn) in the treatment of idiopathic hirsutism.

Abstract
The administration of cyproterone acetate can be effective in the treatment of 'idiopathic' hirsutism. In 5 similarly affected patients treated with ethinyloestradiol and lynoestrenol (Minilyn) the rate of hair growth was reduced in only two, even though the serum total testosterone was reduced in each instance.
