I take 200 mg of spironolactone for aga. However, I was reading that spironolactone works better for aga when it’s the case of pcos, to control the androgens. It’s finasteride better when aga it’s genetics?
Answer: Hair Loss -- PRP, Progesterone, Stem Cells/ACELL, Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUE), Spironolactone or Finesteride, Rogaine This needs an in-person evaluation. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now 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 and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Spironolactone vs. Finasteride for female pattern hair loss? Englewood Cliffs New Jersey In my opinion, it is not possible to predict which medication, spironolactone or finasteride will work better for female pattern hair loss. In most cases, spironolactone is superior. However, finasteride can work better in certain individuals. Spironolactone is more effective for Androgen side effects, however this does not always indicate the response in the scalp. Discuss the side effects of these medications with your hair loss expert and see which is more appropriate.Good luck.

Answer: Treatment of AGA in a female You should be evaluated by a board certified dermatologist who specializes in hair loss. You didn't mention an evaluation. A thorough history and comprehensive blood work, and sometimes a biopsy of the scalp is necessary to arrive at a diagnosis of AGA. Only after all this is done can treatment be considered. Just because there is a family history doesn't mean that this is the etiology in your instance. You could have a thyroid disorder, anemia, or other cause for thinning. There are multiple drugs that can treat AGA. Sometimes a dose has to be increased; sometimes drugs get switched.
