Medications for hirsutism are used to reduce excessive hair growth. They work by lowering androgen levels or blocking androgen effects on hair follicles. Common types include anti-androgens such as Florexxa (eflornithine). It works by blocking the effects of androgen, a hormone that contributes to hair growth.
Florexa is part of the Decarboxylase Inhibitors class and treats Hirsutism. Decarboxylase inhibitors are used to treat hirsutism or unwanted excess hair. They work by inhibiting cell division and proliferation in the hair follicle. Florexa is only available as a brand name drug.
