Default Does Spiro Have To Be Taken In Divided Doses?

I am currently taking 150 mgs of spiro for my hair loss and excess hair growth. I have 25 mg pills and 100 mg pills.

Usually I take two 25 mg pills in the morning and the 100 mg pill before I go to bed.

A few times though I've taken the full 150 mgs at night.

I've read that the spiro doses should be divided up.

Just how divided up do they need to be?

hi,
I used to take mine like this 50 mg in the mornong and 1oo mg at supper time.My doctor has told me however that I could take the full dose all at once.Some cysters prefer the divided doses to keep a steady state of the drug in your blood stream....I don't think it really affects the desired outcome though.I have had to reduce my dosage to 100 mg a week ago because my pottasium was too high....I must really watch the foods that I eat.Best of luck.PM me if you have anymore questions:-)
