I was using isotroin20 for a while and it seems to have given me PCOD. Now I'm on aldactone50 and it's causing breast pain. I'm really worried and wondering if I should just stop taking it immediately or if I need to gradually reduce the dosage. Any advice on what I should do?

It is not recommended to stop aldactone-50 abruptly, as it can lead to potential withdrawal effects. It is advisable to gradually reduce the dosage under the guidance of your healthcare provider. You may need to taper off the medication slowly to minimize any potential side effects.
