   Spironolactone using please reply (Acne board)

21st February 2008
Here are my comments on spiro....

I used to stress out and obsess about my skin. I was in my late 20's when I got cystic acne. I tried everything except accutane. BCP, Bp, proactive, tea tree oil, all anti-biotics, special diets, you name it, I tried it!! Well over 2 years ago I asked my Dr. to prescribe Spironolactone to me and to my surprise I am 99% clear. I don't even need to wear makeup to leave the house. Before I would not even let my Hubby see me without makeup.

Spiro has been my "miracle"! I am on 100mg a day. No side effects! I don't even think, worry, stress about acne anymore. Maybe once a month I will get a tiny little blemish. Not too mention it is cheap....even if you don't have insurance.

My skin is smooth and blemish free. I just use Dove soap to cleanse, apply purpose oil free moisturizer, take spiro and I am clear! No harsh drying creams!

Good luck,

Hi I'm a new user of Spironolactone and I was wondering if I should continue my original routine while I start using this new medicine. I use to use Clean and Clear Acne Advantage for my acne and it works alright for me but I always break out near my menstrual cycle. So should I continue using Clean and Clear with Spiro? or just stop clean and clear and only take spiro? Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

Thank you!
