Trying to get info to give dr. on flutamide and have ?'s

Was just at the dr for my yearly exam this am and was telling her about what I had read on Flutamide. She is willing to look at the info and consider giving it to me after reading up on it. I have printed some of the info I found on here, but didn't know if there were actual websites that have the study's on them. Also, what are the side effects? I would like to add it to my new diet and exercise routine and also to help with hirsutism (which seems to be getting worse now that I am a year postpardum). I don't have actual thining hair, so not sure if its for me? But need to try something. I am also hesitant to take medications so would like to find out everything about it before trying it out. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for you help.. As I am very fustrated with all the weight I have put on and can't loose. I weigh more now than last year when I was 9 months pregnant.

This link has research studies. You can pull the full studies at PubMed:

Your doctor also has access to PubMed, and can easily pull up studies...

Google Scholar also works.

Thanks much! I sent some info to her but haven't heard back. This will pry sound crazy, but I know it is suppose to help with thinning hair. I loose alot of hair, but still have fairly thick hair, so I am worried it will have the opposite effect. Although, less hair other places would be great.
