@samanthaschneidermd: Answering your most common spironolactone questions! Taking it with food helps your body absorb more of it. A meal with some fat works best, but a snack like yogurt is better than nothing. Some medications and supplements can raise potassium when combined with spiro, so make sure your dermatologist and pharmacist know everything you take. Most people do best taking it in the morning or early afternoon, since it can make you pee more. Common side effects include more frequent urination, dizziness, breast tenderness, and period changes. Spironolactone should not be taken during pregnancy. Save this for later and share it with someone who’s starting spiro! #Spironolactone #HormonalAcne #AcneTreatment #dermtok
