Yes this is normal. It can take 3-6 months to start to see results. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert to evaluate and go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like PRP/progesterone injections which can be used in combination with spironolactone. Hair transplantation is another alternative. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
Hair shedding can occur with any of the modalities used for treatment of hair loss- minoxidil and spironolactone included. For most individuals with hair loss, shedding with spironolactone subsides within 2-3 months. If it continues, be sure to see your dermatologist. Other causes of shedding also need to be carefully reviewed including low iron (ferritin), thyroid abnormalities, anemias, and other causes of hair loss.
