[QUOTE=dh2271;3463677]I am 36 yr. old mother of 2 with adult acne. I have tried every topical and some antibiotics. My derm. prescribed the spiro but i am very nervous to take any new medications. I am worried about side effects. I was reading that you shouldn't take it with ibuprofen..is that true. If anyone out there has used it and has had a good experience from it please let me know. Right now I am getting glycolic acid peels, light therapy and swiched to a new skincare line(Skincueticals) I know this helps externally but i need to fix the internal reasons. I do not want to go back on BC pills. Any input would be great.
Thanks

After trying everything, including accutane, since the age of 12, my daughter has been beautifully clear for one year with Yasmin and 50 mgs. of spiro. She was a little weepy with the yasmin at first and a little tired with the spiro but I think she is fine now. I am sure the side efffects are minimal for her compared with having clear skin. Good luck.
