Spironolactone Caused Melasma So I Stopped — When Will My Hair Fall Out?
(female)
I am withdrawing from spironolactone after developing melasma. I have been on it 18 months. How soon should I expect more hair to start falling out again?
Thank you.
Complications of spironolactone treatment includes melasma (skin pigmentation on the face — see here).
Unfortunately, I can not help answer your question because I know absolutely nothing about what is wrong with you, why you were treated with the medication (was it just for hair loss?), age, etc. I’d talk to your prescribing doctor, who has the benefit of knowing your medical history.
