Side effects
Topical spironolactone has minimal systemic absorption compared with oral spironolactone, so most side effects are local rather than hormonal. It is well-tolerated by the majority of women who use it for female pattern hair loss.
Common (roughly 1 in 10)
- Distinctive sulphur smell during application. Fades within 15 to 20 minutes as the solution dries on the scalp
- Mild scalp irritation or itching
Uncommon (roughly 1 in 100)
- Contact dermatitis or dryness at the application site
- Mild breast tenderness (very uncommon at topical doses)
Rare (less than 1 in 1,000)
- Menstrual irregularity (rare, given the low systemic absorption)
- Increased urination (also rare at topical doses)
When to seek urgent medical advice
- Signs of allergic reaction: facial or lip swelling, difficulty breathing, rash
- New symptoms of high potassium: muscle weakness, palpitations, unusual fatigue (very rare with topical use, more relevant to oral spironolactone)
Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, as spironolactone can affect a male foetus. Discuss contraception with your prescriber before starting if you are of childbearing age.
