3. I am also taking the medication. I am currently on 50mg. I have not experienced the thinning of my hair, but I do know that could be a side effect. If you are concerned you need to talk to your doctor. Luckily I haven’t had any of the side effects from this medication. I am hoping to start the metformin in the next couple of months once I am on the normal dose of 75mg of aldactone. Good luck to you!
