Hello. I have PCOS and Androgenic Alopecia as a result. I am currently on (100 mg) Spironolactone, birth control and Rogaine. I am aware of side effects for each medication. My question is, is Spiro. successful on halting and reserving hair loss (Androgenic drive)? If I keep up with this course of treatment, is there a chance for regrowth and an increase in hair density I understand it takes a while)? Thank you!
