My dermatologist started me on Spironolactone 100mg daily, I am female over 50 years old. I saw improvement in the shedding after a few weeks and saw small new hairs after 6 months. However my joints were so sore that I decided that the hair benefits did not equal up to being able to enjoy all my outdoor activities because of aching joints! We tried finasteride and now after being on it for a month, shedding terribly! Can taking Saw Palmetto give me any relief for hair loss caused by high DHT?
