Used Spironolactone? Rate It:
Cons:
None. It is all worth it to have good skin.
Pros:
No more breakouts and less oil production.
Cons:
None.
Pros:
This is the only thing that has cleared my acne.
Cons:
My dermatologist never mentioned anything about potassium issues so I am a little concerned - but the effects are so incredible that I will do just about anything to keep taking these. Also, you need to keep taking it -once you go off it,acne returns
Pros:
Works better than anything I have tried for hormonal acne and oily skin which I have had since I was 12.
Cons:
Remembering to take it twice a day.
Pros:
My skin is clear, not oily, my period is regular again, and I don't have leg/ankle edema at the end of the day anymore!!!
Cons:
If I drink alcohol, the combination makes me pee like crazy. Sometimes I have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
Pros:
I'm 30.Started with 50mg for hormonal acne and hirsutism.After one month raised it to 100mg, which I take every other day. It cleared my skin like accutane without drying it and without the super nasty side effects. Use it without the BCP.
Cons:
the fact it messes with you potassium and sodium levels in the body can create letargy and lack of energy. You need to control your diet when on Spiro and never eat food rich in potassium (bananas, nuts etc) otherwise you might develop hyperkalemia
Pros:
It works !! and cheap.
Cons:
None
Pros:
I've tried everything - even accutane (which worked perfectly for about 2 years after stopping it) but then slowly but surely the acne came back. Spiro WORKS... I almost gave up on it when 2.5 weeks passed with no changes for the better or worse.
Cons:
Started working week 3 on 100mg
Pros:
I am 38 and had Acne since I was 12. This is the only thing that works for me. my doc would only give me 25 mg twice a day. I didn't thing it would be enough, but after 3 weeks (it got worse) my skin is totaly clear. I know take it every other day.
Cons:
Can't stop it for more than a few days or I break out really bad, with cycsts. really is the only thing that worked for me. Retin-a is ok for having blemished go away faster, but this prevents them
Pros:
Cleared up skin completely, no breakouts, lost weight!!!
Cons:
NONE!!
Pros:
All pros! No complaints! Has completey changed my life (or the condition of my face!).
