I'm currently using spironolactone aka S5 Cream 5% and I like it, It comes in a small jar 2oz/60g and you rub in a thin layer (it spreads approx. 2 inches while being absorbed in the skin) across the hairline twice a day, it's important to use sparingly. I apply it in the morning one hour before work and at night one hour before bed. I would recommend using this with other products such as finasteride, dutasteride or Rogaine if you're okay with medication or Revivogen Shampoo/Conditioner for a more natural approach. I have to warn you though, S5 Cream has a mild smell of skunk/mint (odd mix) but it's not over powering. In my opinion I would try it out, buy one jar at first and if it works for you buy the three pack which saves money and shipping costs. I have heard of RU as well and it seems interesting and I have heard good things about it but the hassle of having a pharmacy in India or China prepare it, the costs, the availability all weigh a little heavy on my mind, personally I will stick to a reliable source, my local pharmacy for Rogaine, Nizoral and Avodart and HairLossTalk.com Shop for Revivogen and S5 Cream which I had no problems ordering from and the customer service was fast and helpful.
My current regime: Dutasteride 0.5mg once a day, Revivogen Shampoo/Conditioner EOD, Nizoral 2% every third day, S5 Cream 5% and Rogaine 5%. So far so good, minor shed but everything is starting regrow and thicken up.
P.S. I am no doctor nor are my opinions true/false please use your own personal judgment. Everyone responds differently, what works for me may not work for you.
