Topical spironolactone - Not Even Worth Selling?

[Tokato]

Hello, I would like to ask one thing that I've not seen anywhere. But before that, I know topical spironolactone is not very effective, but I'm thinking of trying it out. Why? Cause I would like something extra just for my hairline and I still haven't decided to go on a one way trip called minoxidil. I want to buy spironolactone and this website sells it. My question is why are there no, but almost like no other places that sell this?

It's kind of making me curious you know, if it's because no one buys it cause it's ineffective, or is there a legal issue about using and selling a medication that has not been approved for such purpose.

Well I want to give it a try, gonna use only for hairline so it can't hurt, but for the same reason buying 3 packs sounds excessive, but the shipping is friggin expensive so ... well I think you get my point.

I got heart palpitations and slight skin irritation after a few applications so had to stop it. But I also have to concede that I got them from Minoxidil which makes me think that I'm just super sensitive.

Started to use S5 hairline only now for one week and seems to be fine. Cannot yet evaluate the affect on my hair though...

S5 topical is just a cope for those who wanna believe they're on a "weak anti androgen"

yeah I know it's weak, but I wanted to add something to finas which I'm gonna start soon. As I already said, minoxidil looks like too big of a gamble which you should not even stop, you can't even "try it out" cause you only gonna make things worse if you stop. It's also very inconsistent. But what else is there that you can do? All other topicals look like a school experiment, spino at least has not only reasonable sience backing it up, but also people who tried it. I was looking into RU - not worth it. I was looking into alpicorn (or whatever), barely found anyone trying it. And many other things, like those copper peptides - the results were nice and shiny hair, at least that which was still there.

Yeah I wouldn't substitute topical spironolactone for finasteride. Oral spironolactone is like a nuke though, that stuff will stop your hair loss, but you have a high risk of getting feminizing stuff like gyno.
