Yes, that's true. But the problem is that Flutamide kind of puts the liver in danger. And we, cysters, have the tendency to get a fatty liver very easy...so that's why upping the dose is easier said than done.
My shedding improved greatly with adding Yasmin to Flutamide. I did that because I read a study (that I also posted here) that Yasmin lets Flutamide work better.

In other words, although drospirenone itself (as used in fourth-generation OCs) may not be a clinically relevant anti-androgen (Ibáñez et al., 2004b), it seems to be a progestin that, in contrast to gestodene, allows flutamide to exert its anti-androgen actions.
