Are oral anti androgens like spironolactone a last resort for guys who don’t stabilise on dutasteride/min/RU? ‘Cause that’s me right now, and I don’t know what to do anymore.

the old guards of the forum seem to have swore on topical spironolactone but spironolactone is pretty bad for your health. bicalutamide is considered a better bet but i don't know if anyone here has tried it without estradiol as a base.

Fibrosis and calcification on scalp needs to be taken care of. Good diet, lots of exercise, avoiding alcohol/smoking and avoiding foods/snacks/sugar that trigger internal inflammation. Or just get on HRT lmao.

No, if you didnt respond to DUTA/min/RU dont expect to be responder on HRT, your odds are LOW.

My diet is locked in. No nutritional deficiencies, no scalp inflammation. Current stack is dutasteride 1mg, OM 5mg, RU 5% 1ml. Still thinning and losing density after almost 2 years.

I do respond to these treatments. I have regrowth on my temples from the RU and OM, my problem is my hair hasn’t stabilised from finasteride or dutasteride. I know I’m a responder to finasteride/dutasteride because otherwise I’d be slick bald right now if I never started them.

i don't get what you want from us. this thread that you're posting in has hundreds of pages of people discussing this very topic. those of us most desperate to save hair have turned to estradiol injections because its the best thing we have for this. as BRezende stated, just adding bica or spironolactone to your current regimen is unlikely to change your situation in any meaningful way.

I’m trying to understand the best route going forward. I don’t quite understand which AA would be best suited to me as they all have varying side effects. What I want to do is lower my T substantially

Friend. To lower T and raise E you need to start drinking a few beers every single day. Also avoid going to the gym that will raise T levels. I personally know an older man 49 that drink beers everyday and dont go to gym. He is a nw0 fullhead.
