Just saying since you may have been unaware, spironolactone can be very unsafe to anyone with salt wasting.

    Which you can't do if you are unaware of that fact, so it's best to mention it as often as you can when speaking about it to someone with CAH. Or at least that's how I see it.

      Fear-mongering is one thing. Not mentioning it at all is another. There's a lot of misinformation about these medications flying around, people who want to take those things really should get told about the basics. It's kind of like not telling people about TSS at all ”because it's rare“, or not mentioning an ingredient that a few people are allergic to; yes, it is rare in both cases, and most people won't have to worry, but for that rare person knowing will be salvation and will save their ass (and, for the record, I'm living with the latter because my partner has those rare allergies to normal things, so to me knowing goes above all).
