spironolactone

[perc40]

dermatologist prescribed me it after accutane, it essentially blocks androgens and acts as a diuretic by excreting excess sodium
i don't have acne anymore, it's just for excess oil production as i'm 15 and still in puberty (late stages)
my diet is mainly meat, however, i only really started carnivore (it's flawed, there's still days where i eat carbs) recently, approximately 3 months ago (atleast consistently)

there's still things i could improve in my lifestyle, like sun exposure etc
should i keep taking this medication? is it detrimental to my health and hormones in any way that could affect my development?
i know obviously accutane is horrible, but i feel like ive recovered from any health problems it couldve caused me
i'll only be taking the medication for a couple more months

why would you be worried about it blocking androgens then

nvm i misread

idk, there might be other health risks about this medication that i dont know about
ive done a fair bit of research on it but maybe there's someone who's more knowledgeable on here
i don't think it'll be a problem though
