Spironolactone can make menses irregularities ,and make spotting,what should be taken to prevent such irregularities and spotting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spironolactone: Spironolactone does not usually make periods irregular. People who use Spironolactone for PCOS typically already have irregular periods. Birth control pills can be used to regulate. Mirena (levonorgestrel) IUDs are popular with PCOS to stop the cycles and provide Progesterone balance to the uterine lining.
