Spironolactone Drops for MGD - It's Helping!

Hi everyone, I did a few searches and didn't come up with anything for this particular treatment, so I wanted to let everyone know about it. I recently started seeing a dry eye specialist at Duke Eye Clinic in Durham, NC. After a detailed evaluation, one of the treatments I was prescribed by the doctor is Topical Spironolactone drops, .3% four times a day. This is a compounded drug that I received from Designer Drugs, in Ohio. Here is the research study my doctor shared with me from the NIH: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10373899/

I've been taking these drops for a little over a week and I'm already noticing an improvement in symptoms. According to the doctor, I have the worst case of MGD he's seen for someone my age (44M). I don't like being an outlier but I do like that this treatment seems to be improving my qualify of life so far.

Wanted to share here in case this can help someone else. I know how awful this issue is and I wish I knew about this treatment sooner.
