Aldactone (50mg) affecting menstrual cyl
As per the prescription for hair loss, started taking Aldactone (50mg) daily along with topical application of Minoxidil. I could see the positive and visible results within 3 months in hair growth. However, it started affecting my menstrual cycle. My usual cycle is of 27/28 days and regular but after this medication, I got my periods after 21 days which I believe isn't a good sign hence I stopped taking it. This started the hair fall again.
Therefore, please advice if starting Aldactone
is a safe option ?

Slight menstrual irregularities can be occasionally seen with Aldactone. It's nothing to be alarmed by.
You should, however, seek medical help if you feel muscular cramps, your heart is racing or your blood pressure drops below normal.
