Hi im 38 and have had moderate acne for 20 years and tried everything including accutane. After researching on the net have just got my GP to reluctantly prescribe me spiro. She has given me 25mg daily for a month and will then review. Has anyone had any joy with such a low dose?

That's a VERY low dose to be effective for acne. My endocrinolgist said that 100 mg is usually necessary. I'd defeinitely ask your GP to start you on a higher dose, or bump you up quickly.
