A member asked:
Will spirolatone cause hair loss on the scalp? is it safe to chew the pills as i cannot swallow pills.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Au contrare: In fact, spironolatone is often used to reduce hair loss although some suggest it may induce regrowth of hair. Unless you have an idiosyncratic reaction to this drug, hair loss is not an expected side effect. Yes you can chew it and grind it down and mix it with applesauce if you wish.
