Hi,
"Spironolactone is associated with an increased risk of bleeding from the stomach and duodenum, but a causal relationship between the two has not been established.[3] Since it also affects steroid receptors elsewhere in the body, it can cause gynecomastia, menstrual irregularities and testicular atrophy. Other side effects include ataxia, erectile dysfunction, drowsiness and rashes. A carcinogenic effect has been demonstrated in rats.[4]
People using this drug should avoid salt substitutes.[5]" source wikipedia.
I saw some people on the forum taking oral spironolactone, any side effects?
Is it recommended by doctors or are you taking at your own risk?
thanks for the feedback
