A member asked:

Is long term menstrual spotting from spironolactone use concerning?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Generally not: Spotting is relatively common in women taking spironolactone, and generally does not reflect an underlying problem, but it is best to check with your physician to be sure nothing else is going on.
