Spironolactone is antiandrogen and as a result can help treat disorders caused by hormonal imbalances. Abnormal hormone levels may result in hair less. Spironolactone isn't officially approved by the FDA but it is still prescribed by some doctors for the treatment of hair loss in women.

According to recent Princeton studies, only in extreme cases are these two things related. So, you should definitely consult a qualified physician and make sure that your case of spironolactone isn't serious. If it is, then there are also precautions that you should be able to take to avoid any hair loss.
