Spironolactone is used to control high blood pressure and reduce high levels of the hormone aldosterone. However it can also be used to treat hormonal acne as well as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) in women.

While taking spironolactone for hair growth can one donate plasma?

I just went to donate plasma for the first time today and I am taking spironolactone. The doctor told me that spironolactone is a diuretic and thins your blood and so in conjunction with the blood thinners they use in the donation process, it is not safe to donate. So I will not be allowed to donate until 48 hours after I have stopped taking spironolactone.
