Doctor's answer:
Used to treat hyperandrogenism caused by excessive adrenal synthesis of androgens, dexamethasone and prednisone are more effective because they have a higher affinity for receptors, which can inhibit the secretion of pituitary ACTH and reduce adrenal androgen secretion dependent on ACTH. Dexamethasone 0.5-0.75mg/day, prednisone 5-7.5mg/day, taken before bedtime. Long-term use should be aware of the possibility of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis suppression.
