Aldactone should be started only after dermatolgical consultation in person (bcos this drug has various side effects and contraindications. But yes it is one of the drug for hirsutism and 6 months to 1 year of therapy is required. Laser epilation therapy is better than oral medication for hirsutism but combination therapy is also used. Visit nearest dermatolgist .thanks.

Treatment is advised only once the levels cross 10 milli units or there are troublesome symptoms with lower tsh levels. As regards food intake you have to have a balanced diet, but avoid certain foods like - soy beans, soy containing products, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, peanuts, radish, mustard a...more

Aldactone (spironolactone) helps to restore the hormone balance and treat female pattern hair loss. Aldactone isn't approved specifically for hair loss treatment, so when doctors use it, it's considered an “off-label” use. ... But it can help the thinning hairs become thicker and fuller.
