Talk:Spironolactone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As far as I know, spironolactone also has anti-androgenic affect as an adverse effect. can anyone vertify this for me?
- There is absolutely no need to doubt this. Spironolactone is a commonly perscribed anti-androgen for transexual MTFs. It's one of the safest anti-androgens to use, and antagonizes both the production of androgens and their ability to react with the body. The adverse effects listed "gynecomastia", "testicular atrophy", and "impotence" are all results of the anti-androgen effects of spironolactone. As it is an anti-androgen, I would also presume that it also reversibly decreases fertility. --Puellanivis 19:50, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
True. Trust me.
