A member asked:
I am on spironolactone and i am planning on having a blood pregnancy test next week.... what should i do? stop taking it? stay on it? will it affect?

Spironolactone: oral: Taking spironolactone orally will not affect your serum content of pregnancy hormones, since the test ( HCG) is very sensitive, and even with a mild diuretic the hormones are detectable with the test.
