I recently purchased Dr. Lee's 5% spironolactone cream and have been using it alongside Nizoral for about a week now.
My hair loss is only at the temples, otherwise I have pretty thick hair. But lately I had noticed that my temples were receding.
So onto spironolactone... The two products that I have seen (S5 cream and Dr. Lee's) are advertised as being free of side effects. I may have been naive by taking that at face value, however since then I have read of many possible side effects of the cream. I have read in other post of users complaining of chest pain, bad breath, difficulty breathing and skin rash.
I am pretty worried now, is this stuff really safe to use as a topical. I know that when taken orally this stuff is pretty severe.
Can anyone shed some light on potential risks? Is it even really worth it to keep using this stuff?
*As a reference, I use very little of the cream, about a pea sized dot on each temple.
Any answers are greatly appreciated.
