Regrowth, but weird! (Spironolactone, Aldactone)

posted by kweston, 03.05.2008, 19:14

I've read that but was just curious b/c I'm 33 years old and never had a facial hair problem before starting spiro. Thanks for your reply.

ť Hair growth in unwanted places is called hirsutism. It is NOT a side
ť effect of sprionolactone. In fact spironolactone is used to treat
ť hirsutism.

ť ť Hi all. This is a first time post, but I've been reading this thread for
ť a
ť ť while. So, I started Spiro about 6 months ago and right on schedule,
ť I'm
ť ť seeing hair growth, but mainly in unwanted places. I've noticed a
ť filling
ť ť in around my temples and hairline (yay!), BUT have also noticed new,
ť fine,
ť ť light hairs on my face (ugh - I've never had a problem with facial
ť hair.)
ť ť The unwanted hair is on my cheeks, forehead, between my eyebrows and in
ť the
ť ť usual facial hair places...I've read that this could be a side effect,
ť but
ť ť wonder if anyone else has had the same thing happen? I'm not using
ť rogaine
ť ť or any other hair drugs. I'm not worried now, b/c the hair is
ť practically
ť ť invisible, but it appears to be growing! Has anyone had this happen?
ť ť
ť ť Thanks!
