Unclear request: Spirinolactone is a diuretic and typically dermatologists would not prescribe this. The question is whether you are talking about a steroid and whether the antibiotic is appropriate. It also depends on your condition being treated so more information is needed.

You can ask your: dermatologist for other options for acne treatment. Spironolactone may work well to treat this condition. Best of luck.
