I would think how long you could take it would be determined be the individual...How hydrated are you??
But taking Diuretics while trying to build muscle is actually counterproductive.
Your muscles, joints, skin, etc etc need a certain amount of water.
I personally don't see the need to take a Diuretic for extended periods of time unless you were preparing for Comp.
What goal are you wanting this Drug to help you obtain?
What are your Stats/History?
I'd be careful if I were you.
**Doc, wanna bring him up to speed on the dangers of Diuretics?

This is a quote from one of BigCat's articles.
It says spiro has no effect on your potassium levels
http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/cataldactone.htm
In medical settings spironolactone can be used as a diuretic when toxins have been ingested, but for those things most physicians will opt for more drastic measures, such as intravenous injections of a more potent diuretic such as lasix (furosemide). Its very popular as an anti-hypertensive drug, since its aldosterone inhibiting effects will lower sodium retention and lower blood pressure that way. For these instances most physicians will actually prefer spironolactone or some type of combination diuretic, because its known as a potassium sparing diuretic. Some heavier diuretics will reduce intra-cellular water as well, and ravage the body's potassium stores. This can result in life-threatening conditions. Mohammed Benazziza fell to his death after his electrolyte balance was thrown out of whack by the use of intra-venous lasix. Since spironolactone has no such effect on potassium levels you do not need to supplement extra potassium or worry about your electrolyte balances. In fact, using more than 2 grams of potassium per day can be equally hazardous, whereas with lasix one would almost have to get 2-3 grams of potassium, additionally, per day.

If you're competing, it's a different story. If not, the only thing you should be using spironolactone for is on your head. Keeping estrogen levels in check will keep aldosterone levels in check.

Oh sorry for not mentioning it.
I take it for the anti-androgenic effect. I'm having a lot of hairloss now in my cycle, so i was planning to take spiro in my PCT.

seriously though, clen and a diuretic is a bad combo. If something topical like topical spiro or minoxidil doesn't work, go with finasteride....or avodart, if the need arises.
