All depends on dx: If you are taking this med for hormone related acne, you may start to take 25 mg every morning with food, and then gradually increase the dose to 50 mg every am., which might be sufficient in controlling the acne. Suggest calling your dermatologist for their opinion as well. There are additional topical meds that you may try as well, which if used with the Spiro, could lead to a lower dose.
