Spironolactone is a medication that helps remove excess fluid and salt from your body. It is often prescribed for conditions such as fluid retention (oedema), high blood pressure, excessive hair growth (hirsutism), and hair loss.
It can also help with unwanted hair growth, acne, and thinning hair during menopause. During menopause, oestrogen and progesterone levels decrease, disrupting the hormonal balance and potentially causing these symptoms.
Spironolactone is hormone-free. It blocks the action of the hormone aldosterone, which helps restore hormonal balance and can reduce symptoms such as unwanted hair growth, acne, and thinning hair.
