Senior Member MusoInOz Posted February 19, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted February 19, 2015 Mate do not get onto oral Spiro it really is not as effective as one may think. The stuff can also be dangerous. This is coming from an individual whom is popping both Fin and Dut combos each day which is honestly crazy enough in my eyes.

Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted February 20, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Spironolactone is a serious medication. It isn't recommended in male hair loss sufferers for two reasons: 1) It's properties as a diuretic. Spironolactone causes significant reductions in blood pressure, dehydration, and high potassium levels (hyperkalemia). 2) It's anti-androgen properties. It may halt the androgenic alopecia process at the scalp, but it also blocks androgen activity all over the body. This means reversing pattern baldness, breast growth, fat re-distribution, et cetera.

Senior Member Gram Posted February 20, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted February 20, 2015 Blake, Where do you stand on dutasteride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Loags79 Posted February 20, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted February 20, 2015 An intetesting side affect of fin is a reduction of body hair. The hairs on my arms legs and chest hair have significantly thinned out in density and caliber at least 50% since taking fin 2 years ago. And a mild reduction in beard facial hair density. Experiencing these sides it makes me wonder about how succesful BHT would be if people are then taking fin. Depressive moods on 1.25mg was whack. Reduced to 1.0mg or less was a godsend regarding the depressive moods. my HT thread: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/175267-dr-radha-fut-3261-grafts-photo-word-heavy.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted February 20, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted February 20, 2015 Gram, It's a good preventive drug. The benefit is obviously very similar to finasteride. The question is whether or not the additional alpha-reductase blocking activity - dutasteride blocks both the type I and II 5-alpha-reductase enzyme types - adds any hair loss benefit. The evidence, thus far, is slim. I only know of one comparison study, and the doses they tested didn't make much sense. In my mind, it showed both are efficient for halting androgenic alopecia. It's less clear whether one is superior to another. Finasteride, however, is approved by US FDA for the treatment of male pattern hair loss. Therefore, this is the one usually recommended.
