Spironolactone medication is typically used for treating hypertension but has also been studied and prescribed off-label for hormonal acne. Spironolactone belongs to a class of medications known as potassium-sparing medications. Spironolactone causes the excretion of sodium and water and the retention of potassium, resulting in both diuretic and antihypertensive effects. It also has antiandrogenic effects and can block androgen hormones such as testosterone.
