Title: Effects of spiro?
Post by: findingreason on September 21, 2008, 04:46:03 PM
From reading, I have an idea already of what E's effects are on the body, but I don't know so much on Spiro. I'm curious at the moment, and I was wondering if some could tell me? I know things like reduced libido, halting hair loss, etc.... but I was wondering about what all the things that could happen are.

Thanks!

Have you read the article on wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spironolactone)?

I just read the article, and from what I can see, does it also reduce the annoyingly high levels oil production that T makes? I have to wipe my forehead of several times a day, and I get greasy hair in 24 hours or less, it's a real pain.

Yup it does (although I don't know if that was a question or a statement)

oops, my bad English, sorry :D! It was a question  ;).

Oye, now I'd so love to have the oil gone, but I know I have to wait......
