A member asked:
As a rare side effect, can spironolactone 100 mg daily cause leukopenia and is it serious? i feel i get sick more often & take longer to get well.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: and it can be serious, kindly report that to your doctor, to stop the drug if it is the case, a simple blood count can rule it out, as it is still rare, but you would be much sicker if it happens, wish you well
