I am not certain about this as both work similarly by occupying receptors and sort of tricking the body into thinking it has less T when actually more is circulating. Provera(brand name) which is medroxyprogesterone acetate is an AA of sorts that actually lowers T straightforwardly which makes interpreting testing easier. Some people get better results on bica and some on spironolactone.Would bica be more beneficial for growth than spironolactone? Which would lower test more
In my experience, spironolactone needs to be used more gently and titrated because it can have pretty debilitating sides if used in excess. I used 100 mg and 200 mg and 300 mg and probably 50 mg was all that I should have taken but I was less aware of the concept of titration and shedding a couple of years ago. Some people prefer CPA which is sort of in between MPA and spironolactone in terms of how it works. It seems to block receptors and lower T but it is the most dangerous long-term and not approved for use in the U.S. Some people swear by it though and get it from offshore pharmacies.
