Yea I’ve heard that deficiency in zinc and vitamin D play a big part in hair loss. I’ve been taking vitamin D for a while but I didn’t know about Zinc. Thank you drs

But what about topical spironolactone for men?

Hi Doctor.

I'm 30 / Male, I'm diagnosed with adult ADHD, my psychiatrist prescribed me to use the below mentioned medicines.

*Methylphenidate - 20 mg SR ( once in morning )

*Modafinil - 200 mg. ( once in morning )

* Melatonin - 3 mg ( once in night )

I also suffer from male pattern baldness ( Androgenic Alopecia), hence my dermatologist prescribed me to use the below mentioned medicines only at night.

*Dutasteride - 0.5 mg

*Spironolactone - 100 mg

Here's my 3 concerns and need ur kind intervention.


1) Does these 5 medicine interact with each other and invalidate or reduce the effectiveness of either drugs ?

2) Does the usage of Spironolactone on long term led to development of type 2 diabetes?

3) Does long term use of Spironolactone cause renal kidney impairment failure ( acute / chronic kidney disease ) ?

I'm really afraid and concerned. Please help me on this.

Thanks in advance doctor.

What is the correct dosage of zinc to take with 25-50 mg of spironolacton?

[tb]

Thanks for this video. I just started using Spironolactone 50 mg. a day together with 2.5 mg. Minoxidil tablets. I was about to ask my Dr. for a 100 mg. a day cause I thought it's more effective.

Be carful with Zinc and Vitamin D if your not deficient talking these vitamins will make your hair loss worse. It’s a balancing act.
