Spironolactone acts as an anti-androgen, helping to lower levels of male hormones that contribute to symptoms like acne, excessive hair growth, hair thinning, and irregular periods caused by hormonal imbalance like in PCOS.

How it works

Spironolactone works by competing with and blocking androgens (like testosterone) from binding to their receptors, thereby preventing testosterone's effects on the body.

FDA approved

Spironolactone is FDA-approved for treating high blood pressure, but doctors often prescribe it for conditions like PCOS, hormonal acne, unwanted hair growth, and female pattern hair loss.

"Discovering spironolactone changed everything for me. Two years ago, I was dealing with all the PCOS challenges you can name. But since starting on my treatment, I've noticed a huge improvement. It's helped my skin and my hair is continually growing in thicker. It's not too late to get started!"

Can Spironolactone help slow down hair loss?

Yes, Spironolactone can be used to treat certain types of hair loss in women, particularly those that are believed to be related to an excess of androgens (male hormones), such as androgenetic alopecia (female pattern hair loss). Spironolactone acts as an anti-androgen, blocking the effect of male hormones that can contribute to hair thinning and loss. 

How does Spironolactone help with both hair loss and unwanted facial hair?

Spironolactone blocks androgen receptors and reduces testosterone production, which can both prevent unwanted facial hair growth and protect scalp hair follicles from androgenic hair loss.

In simpler terms: it reduces male hormones that cause facial hair growth but can thin the hair on your head.

What are the side effects of Spironolactone?

Like any medication, Spironolactone has the potential to cause side effects. Some common side effects include: feeling dizzy,

feeling or being sick, muscle or leg cramps, feeling tired or low energy, breast pain and enlargement.

Do I need a prior prescription?

Oana provides prescription services and delivers the medication if approved by one of our healthcare providers who deems it suitable for the patient's condition and needs.

Can Spironolactone help with irregular periods?

Yes, spironolactone can help regulate menstrual cycles, particularly in women with PCOS, by blocking excess androgens (male hormones) that can disrupt normal cycle patterns. However, since it can also cause irregular periods on its own, it's typically prescribed alongside birth control pills, which provide direct cycle regulation while enhancing spironolactone's hormone-balancing benefits.
