Hello, I am a 32 year old female. Dx with female alopecia 5 years ago. Started on 100 mg spironolactone, and moved to 150 mg apprx 2 years ago. It works very well, and I actually think the 100 mg worked just as well as the 150mg. I had my potassium level checked and it came back at 5.5. Should I: 1) be concerned and 2) lower the dose back to 100 mg?
