Hi, actually your birth control pills will improve your acne no matter which brand it it. As far as the hair loss, the birth control pills can be a contribute to that. I am sorry I can't answer aldoctone question. I don't know what that is.

Brand Names: Aldactone
Generic Name: spironolactone
What is spironolactone?
Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic (water pill) that prevents your body from absorbing too much salt and keeps your potassium levels from getting too low.
Spironolactone is used to diagnose or treat a condition in which you have too much aldosterone in your body. Aldosterone is a hormone produced by your adrenal glands to help regulate the salt and water balance in your body.
Expand this post...
Spironolactone also treats fluid retention (edema) in people with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, or a kidney disorder called nephrotic syndrome. This medication is also used to treat or prevent hypokalemia (low potassium levels in the blood).
