My Dr. prescribed it for me today as well as a thyroid panel...I guess I'm not making the connection, how would spironolactone help me not lose hair?Could Spironolactone be used to treat non-Alopecia hair loss?
Alopecia is, by definition, hair loss. But there are different types of alopecia. You may have meant hair loss that was not ';male pattern baldness';.

Aldactone (Spironolactone) is a potassium-sparing diuretic used to treat congestive heart failure or high blood pressure
