Everything You Know About Common Acne Prescriptions

Spironolactone

You know about spironolactone, men. It's a high blood pressure med! This oral med's so common, so common, and it helps heart and liver problems too. But men, it's also so, so huge as an 'off-label' option for acne. Yes, acne! This med helps hormonal acne, since it has antiandrogenic properties. That means you'll produce less hormones! Hold your horses, though. You know there's a bit of bad news: this med works on testosterone. That makes this med a tough choice for you, men! When your doc still recommends it, they'll keep a close eye on you. So close, so very, very close. Of course, you know you've got to expect to pee more often on this med. It's because spironolactone's a diuretic! Men, just drink some more water to make up for it.
