title: [Antiandrogens and acne].
abstract: One hundred forty-four patients with acne, in most cases severe, were treated with cyproterone acetate, either at low dose ( Diane : 2 mg daily for 21 days), or at high dose ( Androcur : 50-100 mg daily for 10 days) in an inversed sequential schedule according to Hammerstein . The comparison between the two groups of patients exhibits an highly significant difference in favour of Androcur , as well on seborrhea as on comedones and eruptions, whatever the dose (50 or 100 mg); similarly, the results of Androcur were the same with or without topical treatment (Tretinoin or Benzoyl peroxide). The tolerance was equally good in the two groups.
