[quote=Hezzer]Here's some information I found when I ran a search on the web.

Flutamide/Eulexin for Hirsutism

"Side effects are listed for treatment with flutamide: loss of libido, impotence, hot flashes, hypertension, diarrhea, GI disturbances, anorexia, confusion, depression, drowsiness, anxiety, nervousness, anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, hemolytic anemia macrocytic anemia, methemoglobinemia, hepatitis, cholestatic jaundice, hepatic encephalopathy, jaundice, hepatic necrosis, liver failure, rash, injection site irritation, erythema, ulceration, bullous eruptions, epidermal necrolysi, gynecomastia, edema, neuromuscular symptoms, pulmonary symptoms, GU symptoms, malignant breast tumors."

This stuff made me so sick, I am 22 years old and normally really healthy. I took Flutamide for 3 days, I had hot flshes, and I couldn't think clearly. I couldn't put together cohesive thoughts when I was taking it, it made me so fatigued. I would only recommend taking this drug as a last resort, becuase the way I see it, if it is strong enough to help in treating prosate cancer, it is really strong and patients need to be closely monitored while on Flutamide.
