How long will spironolactone stay in my system once ceased?

Question

How long will Spironolactone stay in my system once ceased? As I am a bodybuilder and I have bad acne, but I have just seen that it is a banned substance because it is a diuretic and masking agent. My doctor wasn't sure and she said to Google it.

Laura A. Katz, MD · Answer

Spironolactone has a half life of about 16 hours for the active metabolites of the drug.  This means that it would take about 36 hours before traces of spironolactone should not be detected in your blood.  Hope this helps.
