Spironolactone (Aldactone) is a potassium-sparing medication used as a diuretic medication for heart failure, liver disease and high blood pressure.
It has also been found useful for hirsutism, acne and seborrhoea because it has anti-androgenic properties.
The dose of spironolactone is usually slowly increased from 50 to 200 mg daily, taken at night. It may take six or more months to see improvement in the skin condition.


I've been taking it for about 2 years now ,about 100mg a day.I love it and would never live without it.If your female this is the most effective drug out there for acne,other than birthcontrol.I've been on it 2 years with no problems or side effects. :)
I also use Diane35 and Skinoren.
