I just started Spiro two weeks ago and she put me on 50mg twice a day and said that after a few months, I may only need a maintenance dose of 25mg twice a day.
I know that supposedly up to 200mg per day is safe, but because of the potassium sparing issue, I would definitely talk to your doctor first rather than upping it yourself if that is what you planned to do.
The potassium thing scared me a little bit, but my doctor said that for healthy people at medium doses like the one she put me on, its not really a big deal. Higher doses...probably a bigger deal.
Good Luck!
