In order to brew my spironolactone solution this is what I do:

1) I put the spironolactone along with ethanol in a glass.
2) I fill a half of a saucepan with water, put the glass inside the saucepan and proceed to heat it.
3) When I see the spironolactone has gone into solution I take the saucepan off the fire.
4) I then add PPG and water so that the solution is 50% ethanol, 30% PPG and 20% distilled water.

The main problem with this solution is that if I don't heat it it hardly stays in solution and precipitates. If I heat it it makes a much greater solution but there's some cristalization. I'm going to try the approach of using 50/50 ethanol/PPG without adding water and see what happens.

By the way, it would be interesting that someone posted a recipe for making a spironolactone CREAM... everybody says it works so much better than the solution that I'm wishing to try it.

Cream based spironolactone is extremely easy. Either:

1. Mix desired spironolactone tabs into dermavan or dermabase (neutral based cream)

2. Mix spironolactone into a small amount of ppg first, then add to dermavan or dermabase.


The latter of the two might help ensure the spironolactone is as evenly distributed as possible but I dont think it is necessary.


PS
#1 happens to be Bryan's old spironolactone recipe :wink:

That is great info socks.

Is there any specific ratio of tabs/ vehicle?

Most guys like 3%. So take the grams of cream (28g = 1oz) and multiply that by the percentage. So, for example, if you want a 3% solution and you want to make an oz 28g x .03 = .84g or 840mg of spironolactone.

The filler in the spironolactone pills with throw off the ratio a bit but you dont have to be exact! As Bryan has said, "you aint mixing rocket fuel for the space shuttle"

I cant personally say as I've only been using it for 2 weeks now.

Best to just order dermavan or dermabase off the Internet. Fail that, talk to your local pharmacist about purchasing a neutral vanishing cream.
