ok, i've noticed a lot of you say you docs have put you on some form of E, and some form of anti-androgen, usually spiro for short. the list i got from my friend at walmart of the $4 meds lists it as a heart health and blood pressure medication.
in my understanding, most of you on here that are taking it, i'm interpreting it to mean that it is an anti-androgen and blocks testosterone, but i am not sure because if i look up the effects of some of these medications by search and transsexual is included, i don't get the info i'm looking for. it goes the same for if i look up spiro by itself. my ex wanted to know why the docs would prescribe this med for hrt. and i would like some proper info on it for myself.
am i correct that it is used as an anti-androgen? if so, please explain how.
am i also correct in assuming that it's MOST common function is for docs to prescribe it for heart health and blood pressure?
any help is greatly appreciated, so i can realy the info to my doctor, he has swithced me to the Estradiol, so it will cost me less, but i'm not sure about any AA's yet. my ex's theory, is that he didn't see a lot of masculinity in me to begin with and may have assessed that i do not need it yet as it may lower my T too much.
does her theory sound valid?
waiting for those that can help....thanks Warrior Princess Mekayla
