To keep your future baby safe, you must stop both spironolactone (Aldactone) and finasteride (Finast) before trying to conceive. Both medications can safely be stopped suddenly; you do not need to wean off them gradually. Because finasteride takes time to fully clear your body, you must stop taking it at least one month?and ideally two to three months?before attempting to get pregnant. Spironolactone should also be discontinued before conception. Please consult your prescribing doctor to confirm your specific timeline and discuss pregnancy-safe options for managing facial hair.
