Aldactone can cause birth defects in the baby and there is not enough safety data on Finast use during pregnancy . Therefore if you’re planning pregnancy it is recommended that you stop taking both before conceiving. It is ok to stop it abruptly, without any problems, however you may notice increase in hirsutism symptoms after you stop taking it.
