community Are any of you using topical spironolactone ?
The user is using topical dutasteride, minoxidil, and spironolactone for hair loss, with positive results after adding spironolactone. Another user takes oral spironolactone, dutasteride, and finasteride, noting decreased libido but no major side effects.
community where does the renewed spironolactone hype come from?
Topical spironolactone is gaining attention as an alternative hair loss treatment, but it's not as effective as other options like finasteride. Oral spironolactone can cause side effects in men, and there are better topical alternatives like RU, Pyril, and CB.

Testosterone can still cause hair loss even when DHT is blocked by dutasteride, especially if hair follicles are sensitive. Topical treatments like RU58841 or pyrilutamide may help, but their long-term effectiveness is uncertain compared to dutasteride.
