Depends: Why are you taking the spironolactone? What other medical issues do you have? What other medicines are you on? There are a host of other questions/issues that must be addressed in order to answer your question properly. Best to discuss with your treating provider who should have this information and can give you best advice. Best of luck. Dr R

Why RU taking it?: Spironolactone suppresses male hormones in both men and women. It can cause menstrual irregularities & breast tenderness in women. If you're taking it b/c of excessive body hair, a combined oral contraceptive with low androgen effect might control those side effects without reducing its effectiveness. Natural progesterone is less convenient since it isn't absorbed orally. Talk w/ your doctor!
