A member asked:

Aldactone (spironolactone) 150mg for pcos. i get 2 periods a month on it. for last 3 months. is that normal? why is that happening?anyway to just get 1 period a month?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Aldactone (spironolactone) unrelated: Aldactone (spironolactone) is a mild diuretic that interferes with the action of a hormone called aldosterone. Aldosterone is unrelated to your menstruation. Something else may be happening with your other hormones, estrogen, progesterone, etc.
