A member asked:
I recently stop using spironolactone that was prescribed for acne. in the last 3 weeks i started using retin a (tretinoin). i am now experiencing hair loss.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spironolactone : Spironolactone blocks androgen receptors. It may be that when it was discontinued the surge of androgens created hair loss. See your doctor for possible solutions.
