5 alternatives to Spironolactone to reverse hair loss

If you've spoken to a dermatologist, you've probably heard of spironolactone. It's one of the most commonly prescribed medicines for women with hormone-related hair loss because it helps reduce the effect of androgens, hormones that can shrink hair follicles over time. Some people experience side effects like dizziness, irregular periods or breast tenderness. Others can't take it because they're planning a pregnancy or have certain health conditions. Then there are those who simply want to try something else before committing to a long-term prescription. The good news is that there are alternatives. Not miracle cures, not internet hacks, but treatments that doctors actually use and that have research behind them.
