Can I Use Spironolactone as a Hair Loss Treatment?

I’ve recently read about using [tag]spironolactone[/tag] as a possible [tag]hair loss[/tag] treatment, yet I’m unaware of any specific guidelines regarding its usage.   How should it be used? If used synergistically with other other [tag]hair loss medication[/tag]s, like minoxidil, should it be applied before or afterwards?

In my opinion, I would urge you to consult with a  hair restoration physician  or a medical doctor before using this potent medication (used  originally to help control blood pressure)  as a [tag]hair loss treatment[/tag].   It has been said that in high dosages that  spironolactone might help [tag]regrow hair[/tag], but in my opinon, from what I have read, the potential side effects are way too severe.   Additionally, women typically consider this as a hair loss medication  since they cannot use [tag]Propecia[/tag] ([tag]finasteride[/tag]) which is only for use by men, one of the two [tag]FDA approved[/tag] [tag]hair loss drugs[/tag].

There is however, a topical spironolactone however, I have read mixed reviews on whether or not this can be an effective hair loss treatment.

Unless you have a medical condition that might warrant the use of spironolactone, I would urge you to consider using Propecia or [tag]Proscar[/tag] (finasteride) and Rogaine  ([tag]minoxidil[/tag]), the two FDA approved hair loss drugs.   Using these [tag]hair loss remedies[/tag] synergistically will give you the greatest chance at combating future hair loss.   They might even help you regrow hair.
