Acne
"I&#039;ve been taking spiro 50 mg. for 6 months for acne &amp; I&#039;m thrilled.  I&#039;m 45 and have had problems with acne (mainly on chin) for a decade. Dr. told me it would take 6 weeks to start working.  What he didn&#039;t mention is that it might get worse first.  3 weeks in, I wanted to bury my head in the sand.  (so I wouldn&#039;t start it right before a major event!).  At 6 weeks, it was helping but still not great.  Dr. suggested we go to 100 mg but I wanted to give the 50 mg a chance.  By 8-9 weeks it was great!  I still occasionally get a pimple but it&#039;s small and doesn&#039;t last long (unlike the large painful cysts I used to get!)  Note:  generic:  Mutual Pharm.  When pharmacy switched to Qualitest, I started breaking out again...but they changed back! :)"
