Welcome to the site Annabel. I sure wish I knew as much as you do about this, but the only advice I can give is to wait patiently for someone knowledgeable to reply. You might google Spironolactone and read what is said about side effects, although I never seem to get any of the side effects that medical sites report, I seem to get unique ones all of my own.
Not sure if you are aware, but you can get generic Spironolactone at Walmart and possibly at competitors for $10 for a 3 month supply or 25mg, so you might need your doc to write the prescription differently in order for Walmart to fill it - you'd have to check with Walmart on what they'd want you to do . You need a prescription but that's the price without insurance. When I get my finasteride from Walmart, I have to tell them to NOT check with insurance as all the insurance company does is deny the 90 day supply and insist on a 30 day supply and then refuse to pay anything for it. So my involving my insurance would simply cost me more.
