I know people have been using topical spironolactone as a anti-androgen for treating hairloss. It has been effective for some people, but for many, topical spironolactone has never taken off as a very effective treatment.
But on the other hand, there is the oral spironolactone that is very effective for hairloss. It is known as one of the most potent anti-androgens available for hairloss, but the side effects make it not a very good treatment for it. The side effects are:
impotence, breast enlargement and decreased sex drive etc when taken by men. Which are mainly side effects from very low testosterone.
This is caused by decreasing the testosterone production by spironolactone. But women often use this treatment for hairloss.
One of the reasons why spiro is effective as an anti androgen is not only decreasing testosterone production, but the main point is it also prevents the binding of DHT to the androgen receptor sites. Some say that even spiro bond to the hair receptor sites before DHT can.
My solution to this, is taking testosterone along with some anti-estrogens. This might combat the main side effects of spiro at the same time binding to the receptor sites and preventing DHT binding to the hair receptor sites.
My theory is that, your testosterone production is very low when your taking steroids anyways, it can even be non existant and you still wont have the side effects of no testosterone when your on. So maybe oral spiro maybe a help in preventing furthur hairloss without much of the side effects associated with it.
Maybe oral spiro, along with some finasteride (hopefully duasteride comes out soon), Nizoral shampoo, azeliac acid, minoxidil, and even some topical spiro for extra measures on a cycle will prevent
