A member asked:

Im on medications like ginette 35, finasteride and aldactone (spironolactone).will i be able to take a 24 hour free cortisol test?will my medications affect the result

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Test will work: Hi. Your BCP, finasteride, and spironolactone will not interfere with your 24-hour urinary cortisol test. PCOS is a "diagnosis of exclusion", meaning things like Cushing's may need to be excluded for PCOS to be a valid diagnosis. Your doctor has considered that Cushing's is possible, so has ordered the 24-hour UFC to screen for Cushing's. Good luck!
