Avoid topical spironolactone unless prescribed

Topical spironolactone was said to be systemically absorbed; males were specifically warned not to use it unless prescribed by a doctor.

1 / 2

Of note, spironolactone can be prescribed topically, but it is absorbed systemically because of the size of the molecule. So unless your doctor specifically prescribes that for you, especially as a male, do not use topical spironolactone.
