Abstract: The pharmaceutical composition, especially for treating skin with seborrhea, Acne vulgaris and androgonically conditioned alopecia, contains a hormonal agent including the gestogen, dienogest, or a combination of dienogest and an estrogen, as active ingredient. Methods for treatment of this type of skin condition include topical application of the composition including the dienogest which results in an outstanding sebosuppression, a drastic reduction of androstandiol glucuronide and a moderate competitive blockage of androgen receptor sites. Galenic formulations are described which limit and/or prevent the permeation of the active ingredient through the skin.

Abstract: A compound preparation for the treatment of hypogonadal men and men with hypophyseal diseases. This invention relates to compound preparations containing biogenous or synthetic androgens and biogenous or synthetic estrogens that are used for the treatment of imbalances of the testosterone metabolism in old age, of hypogonadal men, and of men with hypophyseal diseases. These compound preparations are present in various galenic formulations such as ointments, gels, sprays, TTS systems, tablets, lozenges, capsules, and suppositories. These preparations are used to treat the fluctuations of the testosterone metabolism occurring in old age and with certain diseases such as hypophyseal diseases (adenoma), hypogonadism and/or metabolic syndrome, to maintain the balance between androgens and estrogens found in young and healthy men in ill and/or elderly men as well.
