Does continuous use of spironolactone stop hair loss in post-menopausal women?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Spironolactone blocks the was androgens (male type hormones) affect the hair follicle. Blocking these hormones can help stop "male" pattern hair loss in women. They have no affect for other causes of hair loss, such as from thyroid abnormalitis, etc.
