Kathy...how is your shedding? (Spironolactone, Aldactone)

The Spiro did nothing for my bp, so once I was taken off of the Spiro my Cardio doctor put me on a beta blocker. I'm a little upset over the beta blocker because I heard beta blockers cause hair loss, so I've been watching my shedding like a hawk! I've been on it since March and so far haven't seen much of an increase in shedding, but my Cardio doctor told me hair loss is one of the side effects and if increased shedding starts he will take me off of it right away. At least he understands me about worrying about hair loss. I am so glad he is on top of everything!

In the beginning of taking Spiro I was put on 50 mg. once a day and after a month my doctor increased it to taking the 50 mg. 2 times a day. I ended up with horrible side effects so he kept it at only 50 mg. a day.
