A member asked:

Is it safe to combine zithromax with aldactone (spironolactone) to cure adult acne?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Off-label: Acne is an off-label use of both drugs, and whether it is safe to use them depends entirely on your particular situation. Nothing "cures" acne, but we have many options for controlling it.
