Is there any medication for excess hair even though the hormone levels are normal?

Thank you.

This situation confuses me as well. I have I think just one level that is slightly off, yet I have nearly ALL the symptoms of PCOS. Luckily, the only one I don't have is overweight, but the hair growth is rediculous!

yea, do u know if there is any med that works for it e.g. spironolactone, etc.

All medications have side-effects and it's probable that you were sensitized in fetal life so that you respond to even limited amounts of testosterone in the same way as men do.

Best answer IMHO is to get a men's-type electric razor.

This link might be helpful. It has a lot of information about normal testosterone levels and hirsutism.

Yes, you can take Metformin, Spiro, or Flutamide.
