5 / 5 resultscommunity Spironolactone VS dutasteride for female pattern hair loss
Spironolactone is more potent and lowers testosterone and DHT, while dutasteride only impacts DHT. For female hair loss, checking hormones and considering treatments like oral minoxidil, spironolactone, or topical minoxidil is recommended.
community If i add a little daily dose of spironolactone (25 mg a day) would the improvement to my hair loss be significant? and also how likely is it to give me unwanted effects? My current regimen is 6 days / week oral Finasteride, 1 day / week oral Dutasteride and twice a day minoxidil foam
Adding 25 mg of spironolactone daily is unlikely to significantly improve hair loss and may not be effective at that dose. Current regimen includes oral finasteride, oral dutasteride, and minoxidil foam.
