Dermatologist who will prescribe spironolactone (London)
Hi everyone - I’m getting really fed up/down about my thinning hair, hair on face etc. I’m on the pill but not making any difference. I’ve read a lot about spironolactone being an option, but I’m not sure how to go about getting it prescribed. Do any GPs or should I go straight to a dermatologist, and

Barts today.
Well I am due at Barts today for review. Af been busy last few months. Running over 110 much of the time. So expect I will have to have something 'orrible' done again before long. (3 ablations already). 3rd pm due within 12 months. Been taking furosemide 40 mg. Otherwise I gain weight quickly.

Medication confusion!
Okay, I am easily confused. Was prescribed Spironolactone in hospital and was already on vitamin B and Thiamine. No side effects apart from excessive weeing which is obviously the whole point. I was prescribed Omaprazole on discharge from hospital plus antibiotics- 4 via drip in hospital, one before

I am coping ok apart from have an urgent desire to go to the toilet many times after taking the water tablets

Itching side effect to heart meds?
Good morning all, I take Apixaban, Atorvastatin, Bisoprol, Ramipril and Spironolactone. The itching on my back is driving me mad, I've put up with it for a while but it's got worse recently. I didn't get this until i'd been taking the meds for some time but assume it must be a side effect of one or more

Reducing Spironolactone
Hi Friends, My doctor has suggested lowering my Spiro from 75 to 50 as my clinical results have shown good improvement. Has anyone reduced their diuretic then had to go back up. I really don't want ascites back again....getting drained is no party. Smiles, Liz

Can I give a little hope?
My partner was diagnosed with alcohol-related decompensated cirrhosis in October 2017 after having been rushed to A&E, vomiting blood and not being able to breathe due to severe ascites. The emergency doctor was so concerned about his prognosis that she asked that I contact his daughters to come to

Liver Cirrhosis
My Wife as just been diagnosed with Cirrhosis at 56 years of age and I am trying to understand which natural diet would best help her, she used to drink quite a lot but said she will never drink again which is positive, I am doing a lot of research and does anyone know if stem cell therapy would be worth

Spironolactone
Hello everybody My wife has been on spironolactone for sometime, originally she was on a combination of Spironolactone 100mg & Furosemide 40mg.
