Filling a monthly spironolactone prescription can very easily clock in at less than what it costs to order in lunch on Seamless:
Acne treatments. If you're reading this, you've likely already read about almost all of them in existence. You know about salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide; you've heard about regulating your hormones with an oral contraceptive; you know that one option is always Accutane. But there still might be one treatment method you haven't tried — or even heard of — a magical little pill called spironolactone. Here's everything you need to know about it.
How it worksAlthough spironolactone is commonly prescribed for treating hormonal acne, it doesn't do so through changing the body's hormone levels themselves, as would be easy to assume. "Spironolactone blocks the effect of the hormones on oil glands," explains Dr. Joshua Zeichner, Director of Cosmetic & Clinical Research in Dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital.
A note on side effectsA common reason why more and more women are looking to spironolactone is that for the majority of patients, it has little to no adverse side effects and is incredibly effective at treating stubborn acne. Men, on the other hand, tend to react differently to the drug and generally are not prescribed spironolactone for acne-related purposes.
The resultsYou're not going to see results right away, so be patient. No, really. It takes time, but it's totally worth it. For most patients, it'll be about three months before beginning to notice a decrease in breakouts. In my personal experience with a 50 mg dose, I went from dealing with pesky blemishes basically all the time to only a flareup, usually around my period.
