I don't recall what my dose was for, but more than likely, it was the lowest possible. Back when I took it, VERY, VERY few doctors woud Rx it for women, and it was nearly unheard of for the treatment of hirsutism in pcos. Literally, doctors thought I was crazy for asking them to consider it.
That's why it's important to read research studies. Finding that obscure french study on flutamide being used to treat hirsutism in women changed my life. Once I knew what to look for, I was able to compile a very good list of studies for my doctors to look at (and I finally found one who did his own research on top of that.) But the previous SEVEN doctors wouldn't even consider Rx'ing for me.
Later, I was quoted in articles mentioning that flutamide is what I took, and some of the top pcos experts were also quoted and arguing that flutamide had no place being rx'd for women.
10 years later...it's all turning around...

It's certainly not the right option for 'everyone', but it is an option, for sure.
