[Effect of a new hormonal contraceptive (Neo-Eunomin) in females with androgenization symptoms].

The activity of Neo-Eunomin on androgenisation of the skin, seborrhoea, acne, alopecia and hirsutism was investigated in a long-term trial covering 165 patients over 3379 cycles. The age of the patients ranged from 19 to 47 years. The first three symptoms showed clear improvement after 6 months of treatment, and in many cases a cure was achieved after 12 months of therapy. No equally good results could at least be obtained in the treatment of hirsutism. In a further study Neo-Eunomin was compared with a contraceptive containing a nor-testosteron derivative (Conceplan 21). Neo-Eunomin showed convincingly better efficacy in the treatment of androgenisation of the skin than the preparation under comparison.
