Starting Aldactone For Acne, Minicin But No Help. Taking Tylenol And Codiene For Migraine. Side Effect?
Hi ..
I am just starting Aldactone ( for acne ) .. I have taken Minicin for years and it basically doesnt work anymore.
I also take Tylenol 3 w Codiene for migraines. Flexiral muscle relaxant, and Ativan ( I was in 2 serious car accidents 5 months apart - rear ended and then T boned ). I had serious pain but continued to exercise and am coming back hard to believe.
Is there any contraindication to taking any of these with the Aldactone.
I also had Moduret but have to stop taking it while I am on Aldactone.
Also, since I read this Aldactone stops hair growth will it affect how my hair grows on my head ??
thank you

Hi,
Welcome to healthcare Magic!
Aldactone can be taken with the current medicines. Start at a lower dose say 25mg day to avoid side effects and build slowly to 100mg a day.
Take Ativan at bedtime and do not drive after having this drug, it causes drowsiness and affects judgement.
It would not cause perceivable change in the looks of your hair.
I hope the advise would be informative and useful for you.
Take Care!
