How Long Does It Take to See Results from Spironolactone?

User Avatar

I was on 50mg of Spironolactone for a month. Then my derm increased the amount to 100mg about 3 weeks ago. How long does this take to kick in? Will it help prevent cystic breakouts? Also, I've been reading on some acne boards that certain manufacturers don't work as well. Is there any truth to this?
