Finasteride and dutasteride reduce neurosteroid production, possibly helping treat glioblastoma.
research Pharmacology of antiandrogens
Antiandrogens affect androgen-dependent body functions and are used for various medical conditions, with some risks like fetus feminization, but new forms like 17α-propylmesterolone show promise for acne without systemic effects.
research A comparative study of Aldactone® and Diane® in the treatment of hirsutism
Aldactone was more effective in reducing hair growth in women with hirsutism than Diane, despite having less impact on hormone levels.
research Clinical applications of antiandrogens
Antiandrogens are effective for conditions like prostate cancer and skin issues, but more research is needed to confirm their benefits and minimize side effects.
