Re: Spironolactone experience anyone??

[Guest guest]

My son was on spironolactone a few years ago for inflamation. We did not see any positive changes from using it. My son is not a gut kid and never had bowel issues. The spironolactone made him constipated so we had to give him oxypowder daily to keep things moving. Constipation is a fairly common side effect from spironolactone.

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anybody has experience with spironolactone? I am getting inclined to start it for my 9 year old who has increased adrenal androgens as well as brain inflammation. Spironolactone helps reducing both of them. If anyone has any experience with it, please share.

Thanks

Thanks . I guess because it is a diuretic, it makes u pee more and

increases the water requirement even more. I am scared to give it a try as my

son keeps getting episodes of excessive thirst while on antifungal treatments.

He may benefit from it for a different reason which is increased androgens. How

long did u use it for?

Thanks

It was great for us for behavior (calmed him some) and language (words began to have meaning for him), but we had to stop because the urine accidents were out of control.-Crystal
