Due to the heroic dosages and significant negative side effects required for it to function as an antiandrogen in most cases, the only time I would ever recommend taking spironolactone would be if you would benefit from its other effects such as its antimineralocorticoid (i.e., blocking aldosterone) properties as it relates to blood pressure management or edema. If you insist on taking spironolactone, please do not take more than 100mg daily. It has a bad reputation for a reason. “The Devil”, as it were.
In case you are unfamiliar, some of the many side effects include: brain fog, lethargy, poor memory, increased urination frequency, low blood pressure, low sodium / electrolyte imbalance, etc. In other words, spironolactone is a blood pressure lowering dieurtic that is a mediocre antiandrogen which is typically prescribed at high dosages in an otherwise-healthy population for questionably-effective off-label use. In any other healthcare context this would (or SHOULD!) be highly unadvisable given the undesirable side effect profile and the widely-available preferable alternatives that already exist, but that’s the state of trans healthcare for you.
