Acne for Special Occasions--Doctor Handling

For those who are on spironolactone should have their renal function monitored periodically. I know of a relative who was prescribed spironolactone as an adjunct treatment, and because it is a diuretic she did not actually require, her kidney parameters—BUN, creatinine, and eGFR—became significantly abnormal despite her being asymptomatic. The medication ultimately had to be discontinued.
