Hello,,, Birth control pills can decrease th hair growth but this will take a couple of months to see the effects ,, the drug name is diane-35.(it contains cyprotereone acetate + ethinyestradiol) the cyproterone acetate has antiandrogens properties to stop the hormones stimulating the hair growth,,,
There is also a cream called eflornithine (vaniqa) this cream slow the facial hair growth,,am not sure about its efficacy!!
U can do laser hair removal if it is available in ur place,, it s so effective,, Good luck
