    Spironolactone is prescribed to treat polycystic ovary syndrome for 5 months at a dose of 50mg daily with food to maximize absorption. To minimize risks, patients should avoid potassium-rich foods and certain medications if they have high potassium levels or allergies. The treatment duration could potentially be shortened to 3 months if the patient's condition improves with lifestyle changes to further minimize costs and length of treatment.
