    GlossarySpironolactone

    medication that blocks hormones to treat hair loss and acne

    Spironolactone, also known by the brand name Aldactone, is a medication primarily used as a diuretic and antihypertensive. It works by blocking the action of aldosterone, a hormone that regulates salt and water balance in the body. In addition to its primary uses, it is also prescribed off-label for conditions like acne and hirsutism (excessive hair growth) due to its anti-androgenic properties, and it can be beneficial in treating certain types of hair loss, such as androgenetic alopecia.
