Yes, by suppressing androgen hormones, Aldactone (spironolactone) can help minimize undesired hair growth, particularly in cases where tests are normal but symptoms still exist. It normally takes three to six months to see noticeable improvement, and it should only be taken under physician supervision.

Effectiveness of Spironolactone:
- Spironolactone (Aldactone) is used to treat unwanted hair growth (hirsutism) in women by blocking androgen hormones.
Dosage Considerations:
- Both 50 mg and 75 mg doses can be effective. The appropriate dose depends on individual response and tolerance, often starting low and adjusting as needed.
Normal Medical Tests:
- Even with normal hormone levels, spironolactone may help reduce hair growth by blocking androgen effects at the skin level.
Time Frame:
- Noticeable improvement typically takes 3-6 months.
Medical Supervision:
- Use under medical supervision is crucial due to potential side effects and the need for monitoring.
Additional Measures:
- Combining medication with hair removal methods and lifestyle changes may enhance results.
Discuss with your healthcare provider to ensure spironolactone is safe and suitable for you.
