quick spironolactone question

[outgrowth]

I want to make a 5% spironolactone lotion.. so I want to know what should I use.. 100% ethanol, or 20% propileno glycol, glycerin.. what's the ingredients for a good spironolactone solution?

ps: it's the drugstore that is going to make it, not me..

 

[Whoome?]

really? what drugstore? thats pretty interesting. From what I heard the
2% works just as well as the 5% cream....

if you really want to save money then you can always go and get some dermovan cream and mix the spironolactone yourself..

Otherwise the only way i can think of.. is you can go to http://www.minoxidil.com
and click on the 5% spironolactone cream for the ingredient list

For me the strong alcohols can cause some serious irritation (I use several topicals, so less alcohol based topicals the better)

I made my own spironolactone using dermovan cream, spironolactone, organic aloe vera, and vitiamin E. Really helps with irritations, but is a lot harder in terms of application.

I beleive there is a user on here using everclear (200 proof alcohol) and he said it seems to be working fine. Can't remember his username

i was thinking about 70ml of ethanol, 30ml of propyleno glycol, wich gives me 100ml of liquid.. then, i put 5 or 6 grams of spironolactone in it.. opinions?

 

[Whoome?]

from what i remember from bryan's posts and dr lee's website, with the alcohol version it can only dissolve up to 2% for spironolactone. Any higher concentration of spironolactone would be a waste as the enthnol wont dissolve it.

I ordered:
- 95ml ethanol + 25ml propylene glycol (120ml)
- 2.5 grams of spironolactone..

:scratch:
:huh:
GOOD? BAD? aranoid:
