My dermatologist suggested this to treat HS. Has anyone went this route?
I'm on it for liver issues and it has never had any effect on my HS
Spironolactone has made a huge positive difference for me. I’m at about 3 months now and I feel very close to remission. Since starting Spironolactone, I did have a couple of really small flares with very little drainage. Studies have shown success for women after 3 months on the drug.
Hello! I'm currently on Spironolactone for HS. I don't know how helpful my case would be for you though, because I've been on Humira for a few years, and just added the Spironolactone in the last year.
It's hard to tell where one treatment ends and the other begins, so I can't tell if it's really working or not, but I recently went up on the dosage... I don't think I was on a high enough dose.
I've had HS for 10+ years now, and the Humira was the only thing that showed a major improvement at all. Now that has leveled off and that's why I'm trying the Spironolactone.
Sorry if that's not very helpful, but let me know if you have any specific questions about the drug!
Best of luck,
Brigette
