A member asked:
Can spironolactone help reduce androgenetic alopecia even if my testosterone is normal? if so, what dose do you recommend?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe : If your alopecia is truly androgenic, then, by definition, it is driven by androgen (dht). Spironolactone will provide blockade which may help. Your md should give the dose.
