A member asked:
Can spironolactone lower your androgens to low? labs below normal level. is that desired or will it cause problems? taking bc too.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: It depends on your symptoms and what else is going on. Personally I would adjust the dose to allow the androgens to be in normal levels, unless there were other symptoms that suggested otherwise.
