Hi, been a while. I'm here with a bit of a followup.
Not a good one I'm afraid.
After almost 2 years of taking 2x125mg flutamide per day and it being absolutely wonderful to my skin and hair, my recent blood tests have shown that my bilirubin is a little over the limit. (normal is up to 20, mine is 22). Because of this my doctor has suspended the treatment for a month, so far. The whole treatment, Yasmin AND flutamide.
I'm currently taking no pills.
At the end of the month I will do another blood test, and then he'll see whether or not I can continue taking hormones.
I am absolutely devastated.
Just when I thought I'd found the magical cure for all the symptoms, it seems I may have to stop taking it all together.
Has this happened to anyone else, anyone had any problems with liver function tests while taking flutamide?
Also my enzimes are
ALP - low
AST - normal
ALT - normal
GGT - normal
ALP (and usually GGT too) have been low on all my tests since I first started taking b/c 8 years ago. My doctor isn't concerned by this, just the bilirubin. :/
