Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics.
Flutapharm® Femina is a non-steroidal drug with antiandrogenic action.
In women with hyperandrogenic conditions accompanied by infertility and ovarian-menstrual disorders (eg, scleropolycystic ovary syndrome), Flutapharm® Femina blocks the pathogenic effects of endogenous androgens on the ovaries and other reproductive organs, as well as on the hypophyte. Due to this, patients have reduced symptoms of hyperandrogenism (hirsutism), menstruation is restored, folliculogenesis and menstrual cycle are improved, which probably leads to the restoration of fertility in some patients.
Pharmacokinetics.
Flutamide is well absorbed from the digestive tract. The maximum concentration in the blood is observed 2 hours after oral administration. It is rapidly metabolized with the formation of the active metabolite – 2-hydroxyflutamide and other substances. The half-life of the active metabolite is 5 – 6 hours. It is eliminated mainly with urine. In 2 days 91% is excreted from the body, in 3 days – 98% of the administered dose.
Indication
Treatment of women with functional hyperandrogenism, which is accompanied by disorders of the ovarian-menstrual cycle, hirsutism, scleropolycystic ovary syndrome and infertility.
Contraindication
Hypersensitivity to flutamide or to other components of the drug. Hyperandrogenism of organic origin (tumors of the ovaries and adrenal cortex). Severe hepatic impairment (baseline liver enzymes should be assessed prior to treatment).
Children’s age.
