Spironolactone
| Hairloss Treatment Type | Antiandrogen |

| Notes | Spironolactone is one of the most powerful antiandrogens available. It is also absorbed locally when applied topically, so it is good for hairloss treatment since it is not absorbed throughout your body. Since it is so powerful, it is not used orally due to side effects (except in women). It is not widely used since it is available only by prescription. |

| Clinical Results | Potent antiandrogen. |
| Testing | Well tested. |
| Safety/Side Effects | Side effects in men when used orally. Well tolerated topically or orally in women. |
