UK Spironolactone prescription

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone from the UK has been prescribed Spironolactone to help with PCOS?

Went to the GP yesterday to try and get put on Yasmin but was told i need to lose more weight before I can go on that and after working it out I need to lose another three stone :-( i am determined to do it but its going to take a while and i am just finding the whole hair thing emotionally difficult at the moment.

The doctor said she is going to speak to the pharmacist to see if she can prescribe me Spironolactone as she wasn't sure if it had been regulated for use with PCOS and it may take a couple of weeks for her to find out. Just wondered if anyone in the UK had been prescribed it?

Thanks

Jayne
