I never had severe acne but I still had problems with pimples into my adult years, especially around my period. Since starting Spiro I could count the pimples I've had on one hand! It's fantastic! It also pretty much got rid of any body odor I had... I could probably get away with not wearing deodorant but I'm not going to risk it.
As far as the hair, I haven't seen any real reduction in the hair I already had. But it seemed to stop the progress of the hirsutism and made the hair grow a bit slower. Overall I am happy with this medication. I use it along with Yasmin and this is a good combo for me. I think the doctors usually like to prescribe Spiro with a BCP because it can mess with your periods and BC helps regulate this. (I have had no problem being on these two meds, my periods are very normal as they never were before!) Also, if you get pregnant while on Spiro, it could cause harm to the baby because of its anti-androgen properties. So it may be a good idea to be on a BCP as well if you want to do that.
