Answer: Spironolactone for acne and surgery Spironolactone is safe to use at the time of surgery. I recommend letting your surgeon's office know that you are taking spironolactone for acne. They may want to do a blood test, and they may want you to discontinue it for a short time before surgery. All the best to you with your surgery.
