2% vs 5% spironolactone

[goodhair]

I am looking to try topical spironolactone. Is there much difference between 2% vs 5%?

Also, is minoxidil.com the best site to buy it?

I just saw that this site sells spironolactone 5% (s5) but not 2%, so I assume the 2% is not worth it or not strong enough?

This puzzles me too.

For a product that supposedly doesn't have any side effects, why are there two strengths?

I personally suffered side effects from Dr.Lee's spironolactone 5% lotion applying a moderate amount only once daily. Trouble breathing and chest pains which have also been reported by other users. A common approach to resolve this problem is by reducing the amount used. Anything that effects my breathing is a no for me though.
