Unfortunately, neither will anyone else, most likely. You need to buy at least 10 kg from the big chemical companies for to really see dramatic savings. Someone needs to find a company that deals in smaller volume.

The total cost of the spironolactone in a 2 oz. jar of Dr. Lee's 5% spironolactone cream is probably not more than a couple of dollars or so.

BTW, what is the reason for your aversion to the question? I am suggesting that people incorporate pure spironolactone instead of pulverized tablets into their vehicle. Is that a controversial idea?

Perhaps Dr. Lee and co. would consider selling a huge quantity of it if you gathered enough users to pitch in to purchase it in bulk and and in turn buying it with a major discount?

I don't mean to sound like a downer but it seems risky as to know knowing if the home made version would work.

Logistically, your idea will not work. Unless you find lots of people that live within driving distance of your home to buy-in to your idea.

There would be a cost saving to your idea Dave, but I think for many it would be offset by the inconvenience of having to make up their own topical, getting all the ingredients etc, for what after all only amounts to $10-20 per month or something like that.

What we really need is more companies selling products like spironolactone so prices come down like they have with generic minoxidil.

I have posted this site a few times which makes topical spironolactone and some low PPG minoxidil fomulations quite a bit cheaper than Lee -

spironolactone + low PPG minoxidil

Damn, the admin was on this topic like flys on sh*t. And he's making sure that know one would buy into this idea by putting in his two sense in a negative way. Is it a coincidence or is it a strategic competitive response in the fierce marketplace of hair loss treatment slangin'?

Hustling ain't easy biotch.

I'm on to you admin (Initially meant as a joke but with passive aggresive roots).

This is the twenty-first century. Your understanding of logistics needs updating.

I'm talking about the fact that you will be having to make the stuff, bottle it and ship it. Then you have to get the cahs oof of everyone else and trust them for it. If you are happy doing that then fine but all that time and effort does not seem worth it to me.

No, an order of bulk spironolactone would be divided and shipped as is, not prepared as a finished product. That wouldn't be a hassle if it were only a few people, but the amount that would need to be purchased in order to realize a substantial cost savings is such that it would require too many people to be worth the hassle. At least, I wouldn't want the responsibility of having to organize such an effort.

HairLossTalk.com is not involved in any conspiracy with Dr. Lee. I was not insinuating anything negative when I had asked the admin what was so provocative about the topic. It doesn't matter at this point, but I don't want to leave any room for confusion about that.

Dave: Just read this thread. It was a good idea but I'd be worried about the authorities not liking us buying so much spironolactone. You know, the FDA let's us buy small amounts for our personal use but such a large quantity.... I don't know, I'd be a little worried about that.

It would be purchased by a company for research purposes only. Not for human or veterinary use.

I'm going to purchase a tiny amount anyway. I need the raw material for the solubility testing necessary for a topical spironolactone microemulsion that I'm formulating.
