Spironolactone Oral Tablet Therapy
Description
Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic that also functions as an androgen receptor blocker, making it a valuable therapy in managing hormone-driven dermatologic and endocrine conditions. It is most commonly prescribed for women experiencing persistent acne, excess hair growth (hirsutism), hair thinning (androgenic alopecia), or symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
By reducing the effects of androgens (male hormones) like testosterone, spironolactone helps regulate sebum production, minimize hormonal breakouts, and slow or reverse excess hair growth or hair loss caused by androgen sensitivity. Although it has other medical uses such as treating high blood pressure or heart failure, its use in women’s hormonal health and skin clarity is well supported and widely accepted when medically appropriate.
