How do I use my Spironolactone 2% Solution?

[EL GAUCHO]

Just ordered some in. I intend to use it throughout my Winny cycle.
How is this best used in conjunction with my Nizoral shampoo?
I have no instructions.
Thanks

nizoral in the morning during showering. let it sit in there for 5 minutes.....then put a few droppers of spiro on the top and front of your head at night and rub it in (don't have to rub it in, but i got long full hair....trying to keep it that way). also may want to use some minoxidil for the "bald spot" since its so cheap. or just put some spiro back there too.

Hey Freak,

I was always skeptical about how someone with a full head of hair is able to apply the spiro to the scalp? Does it work? Also, did you notice the much talked about odor?

you know, i feel the 2% gets in there better due to the fact its a liquid. i opted for the 5% cream this time.....but feel i leave more of it in my hair than on my scalp. but who knows. having a full head of hair is a PITA for application....but i am thankful that 90% of the hair is still there after 31 years. i really think the whole pkg of minox/nizoral/spiro/proscar works. i don't really have any additional fallout at all. having all one length hair down to below my neck, i get a lot of hairs falling out either way. but with these products i get no additional, or very little if i do. as for the smell, it seems the more it marinates in there the worse the smell. i put it on at night and by the time morning rolls around i'm wondering what that smell is. lol. so long as you apply at night i think you'll be alright with the smell unless you got a g/f your sleeping with. lol.

So, once a day application is enough?
Some say 1ml twice a day.
Can it be left in the hair then? It doesn't need rinsing out?

1ml 2 time a day. Leave in on the scalp. If you are using minoxidil, apply spiro 15 minutes after appling minoxidil. The 2% Spiro is easier to apply to the scalp, just part your hair and apply. Do this over your entire scalp. 5% cream is best to apply on thining areas such as your hairline and crown.

Using Nizoral shampoo daily or every other day. Let it soak in 4-10 minutes before rinsing off for maximum effect.

The stack that works for me is:

1. Azelaic Acid 5% + Minoxidil 5% - 1ml 2 times a day

2. Topical Spironolactone 2% - 1ml 2 times a day

3. Nizoral Shampoo 2% - Every other day

4. Polysorbate 80 Shampoo - Every other day

Do you start it before your cycle? And how long do you keep on going after your cycle is over?

1ml 2 time a day. Leave in on the scalp. If you are using minoxidil, apply spiro 15 minutes after appling minoxidil. The 2% Spiro is easier to apply to the scalp, just part your hair and apply. Do this over your entire scalp. 5% cream is best to apply on thining areas such as your hairline and crown.

4. Polysorbate 80 Shampoo - Every other day

My understanding is that you should start as soon as you hit your cycle, and continue until the end.
I will probably continue for 2 weeks after, during Clomid.

Ive had excellent results with combining minoxodil 5% solution with 2% spiro in a 50/50 ratio, applying once in morning once at night using one of the minoxidil pippetes for each application.
