A member asked:

I've developed mgd and blepharitis on since going on spironolactone. will stopping make it better? how soon?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NO: Your eye symptoms are not related to spironolactone. You forgot to give the reason for spironolactone, the dose, or any other meds or supplements. A common cause for your problem is ocular rosacea which responds nicely to doxycycline 20mg a day. Or do you have acne?
