A member asked:
Will skyla help pcos effects? can i take spiro and metformin to help or will it make the iud less effective? got skyla 4d ago and acne has started up.

Hard to say: skyla will sometimes cause amenorrhrea and may be good for irregular, heavy periods, but some women report that it makes symptoms other than irregular periods worse. Neither spironolactone nor metformin should interfere with Skyla. The progesterone in skyla acts largely locally so it should not cause you to have more acne problems, although many women claim otherwise
