Hi Liza!
Thank you for your reply. Did you start using Nizoral because of its
reputation to help with hair loss and if you did where did you hear
about it? How are you doing on 200 mg of Spironolactone? Any side
effects? That is a pretty high dose. Did you ease into it or did your
doctor start you out that high? Has your hair loss stopped since
starting Spiro and if yes how long did it take for you to notice any
results? Sorry so many questions. Any info would be helpful. Thanks!
God bless! Tera
