Spironolactone acts as an anti-androgen. It can help with acne, hair loss, excess hair, slow/stop weight gain and other things that are caused by raised testosterone levels.

I noticed a dramatic decrease in breakouts within 2 months of using Spiro. I am on 200 mg a day and have had great results with it! On top of my acne subsiding, hair loss slowing down and it's allowed me to start losing weight.
