How Effective is Spironolactone for Female Hair Loss?

sam076
I have VERY thin hair, especially around my crown area. Derm did a blood workup and said I needed to take a iron and Vitamin D supplement because they were very low and also put me on spiro and recommended I do a combination therapy with 5% minoxidil. I am very skeptical on using minoxidil since it is a lifetime commitment, so I decided to just try the spiro. I also have very minaturized hair. I want to know how well spiro works for your patients? And if I really should use minoxidil (5%) THANKS
