A member asked:
First time on bc (junel fe) for acne. wondering roughly how long to take it? i don't want to take it forever.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
3 months: Spironolactone alone or added to BC is more effective. Usual dose 100mg a day. Side effects uncommon. Prescription, but not expensive.
