A member asked:
Does spironolactone block testosterone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: Spironolactone is an old, commonly used (but not really effective) diuretic that has an interesting side effect: its chemical structure is similar enough to block testosterone receptors in the face and scalp, and helps to decrease acne, oily skin, and facial hair growth.
