question and answer
FINASTERIDE FOR ACNE?
February 1999
Is there a therapeutic role for finasteride in the treatment of acne vulgaris?" inquires MARTYN CHILVERS, MD, of Sarnia, Ont.
There are no major studies of finasteride for acne underway at the moment. However, another antiandrogen, flutamide, (Euflex), is prescribed in hyperandrogenism states like androgenetic alopecia, hirsutism, and acne related to elevated plasma DHEAS (dihydroepiandrosternal sulfate) or free testosterone.
