A member asked:
Can spironolactone lower your androgens to low? dhyi and andro labs below normal, testosterone normal. is this desired or can it cause problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Spironolactone blocks androgen effect by blocking Androgen receptors but it does not lower Androgen level. It is commonly used to relief symptoms of Androgen excess like hirsutism ( excessive body & facial hair). Be careful it is teratogenic ( may cause birth defects) and should be used with a reliable method of contraception.
