the ones that are supposed to inhibit DHT?


i like spironolactone in theory, but i just can't bring myself to renew the subscription, i hate the stuff.

from what i've read, all the other topicals are alcohol based too. is alcohol the only way to get the stuff into your scalp? i hate the smell and texture of it in my hair.

Alcohol dries faster then water so thats why its in alot of topicals.You could get Dr Lee's spironolactone 5% LOTION,this stuff is odorless and i do believe i read somewhere on this site that its the alcohol that makes it smell like sh*t.

Im not sure,if its the alcohol that makes it smell and the lotion doesnt smell one bit then i would guess it has no alcohol in it but you might want to look it up for your self.try minoxidil.com thats dr lees website.
