I haven't had any side effects from this drug and I don't have to go for any doctor visits, although you can always go to your doctor and have them check your potassium levels if this is a concern for you. Most people say it can take 3-4 months for it to work, but for me, I started noticing results in 3 weeks!! I've had acne since I was 12 years old and when I turned 23 my acne got worse. I went from having moderate to sever cystic acne. It was so bad that it hurt every time I washed my face.
My Dermatologist put me on Spiro for only ONE month and then took me off it. I wanted to keep taking it because I feared that as soon as I stopped taking it my acne would come back so I went to my gynecologist and he quickly wrote me up a prescription with 11 refills!!
It's kind of strange... my dermatologist said it was strong medication and one month on it was enough, yet my gynecologist said that as soon as I stopped taking it my acne would come back and said there is no danger in taking it for a prolonged period of time. He just told me to go back in 6 months to check potassium levels.
Overall, I would recommend it. You have nothing to lose. It's very CHEAP(I pay $8 for a month's supply... with NO insurance) and side effects are minimal. For me, it just makes me pee a lot, lol."
