Bicalutamide reduces hypertrichosis
A recent study has in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology has suggested that the addition of bicalutamide to oral minoxidil may improve minoxidil–induced hypertrichosis.
The combination of low-dose systemic minoxidil with antiandrogen therapy has been used for the treatment of female pattern hair loss (FPHL). Although minoxidil is shown to have a favorable safety profile, hypertrichosis occurs in up to 24% of patients. Bicalutamide is a pure, non-steroidal androgen receptor inhibitor that has been successfully used for FPHL treatment. Low-dose bicalutamide (25mg/daily) has also been used to treat moderate to severe hirsutism with significant efficacy.
