Default Does Spiro Work??

I just started spiro yesterday, taking 50mg 2xday. Can someone tell me how long it usually takes to see improvement?
Thanks!

Hi lagal23,
I would say a definate "YES" to spiro working. It takes a couple of weeks to see any difference, but if you stick with it it will...although I'm not sure about your dose...mine is double that. My test levels have dropped 20% so far and that was after taking it for 2months. I was off for awhile, but am now back on it and feel so much better...my skin especially. Hope this gives you some hope!

Hi

Well my endo said it takes about 1 year to get to maximum benefit with spiro.
