How Can Female Pattern Hair Loss Be Treated?
I am on 200mg of spirolactone for 9mo. with very good results. I am seeing a very good dermatologist, but not till May. My testosterone in Dec. was 100, each blood test it was higher. I went thru menopause at36 & never had hormones. I was also told hair loss comes from aging & that I have female pattern hair loss. Would it be safe for me to take 250 or 300mg a day? TY ! I would like an answer if at all possible.

Hello,
Consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Minoxidil can be an effective option for you.
If everything fails, you can opt for hair transplantation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
