Hi
Welcome to HCM.
I have gone through your query.
To my knowledge there is no drug interactions occur when this agents are given together. To confirm I went through literature and I have not found any drug interactions between this two agents. So based on this I can say it is highly unlikely to get any adverse effects when this agents used together.

report suggestive of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through the report.
It is suggestive of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis.

Cytomid contains flutamide, it is not only used to treat prostate cancer, but it is also used to treat hirsutism, in your case it is used for this purpose.
All drugs are external substance and can cause side effects. I'll mention common ones here like Decreased interest in sexual intercourse, diarrhea, feeling of warmth, indigestion, passing of gas
redness of the face, neck, arms and occasionally, upper chest, stomach pain, fullness, or discomfort, sudden sweating, swelling of the breasts or breast soreness.
Hope this helps.
