Notes on Spirolactone for HS

This was prescribed to me years ago as a mild diuretic. At my last derm visit, she suggested I try it for HS. I'm going to give it a go & will let you know if it helps. I had no side effects when I took it in the past.

Thanks I look forward to hearing back from you. Are you male or female? My daughter has just started with this condition 3 months ago at age 20. Side effects for females may be a bit more onerous?

Currently I take 25mg of spiro for cystic acne and I've noticed that when I'm consistent I have less severe break outs of my HS as well. I was taking 75mg for a long time and it was a noticeable difference, however I did get heart palpitations and felt like my blood pressure was off so I completely stopped taking it for about a month. When I stopped taking it I got a bunch of HS break outs. It's worth a try but it's just a band-aid of course.
