: :Hello my name is valerie and I have been taking aldactone which is the
brand name for spironolactone. The doctor prescribed it to me cause I have
to much testosteone. And excess body hair like chin,stomach,upper lip,legs.
I had a little timy problem with acne, not bad but I do get cystic acne on the
back of my legs and very bad razer bumps. Well I have been taking the medication
for at least 6 months and I have seen a big difference the hair has gotten alot lighter
and I rarley have a pimple on my face. The reason I have been doing research on this
medication is because I wasn't sure if it was the right one for me. Casue I mostley
hear that the medication if for people with heart probelms, but I am glad to find out
that it is for hormonal problems also. If you have anymore questions please fill free to e-mail
me. Thanks Valerie
