Hi Tabitha. Thanks for the information. Do you know whether it is advisable and/or safe to take an anti-androgen such as Spironolactone if your testosterone and other androgen levels are within the normal range? I have heard of doctors prescribing anti-androgens for hair loss even in the absence of any evidence that androgens are elevated. I might be wrong, but it just doesn't make sense to me to lower (or raise) any of these hormones if they are within normal limits. I guess I'm thinking, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." If androgens are not elevated, then wouldn't that be ruled out as a cause of hair loss?
