List all Topical Anti-androgens

[Quantum Cat]

I'm thinking about adding a topical to complement taking Finasteride, but I'm a bit confused by all the different ones - and I'm looking for one that's not too expensive.

so far I'm looking into:

Revivogen
spironolactone
Nanoguard

what others do you recommend?

(I already use Nizorelle)

Revivogen/spironolactone are the most widely used

 

[Quantum Cat]

are there different brands of spironolactone? and if so, which do most people use?

 

[SoThatsLife]

spironolactone is spironolactone, but there is different vechiles, brands and doses. To my knowledge 5% is the dose used by most and the gel/cream version is better than liquid.

You also have fluridil, flutagel, flutamid, ru etc. But spironolactone is the most documented. Fluridil could be good, but they have no good studies except from the one they have made themself. Revivogen works somewhat, but is a mess, stinks and often causes inflammation, and all in all probably don't work all that good. Ru is great, but hard to get and some sites about ru are scam.

How does revivogen cause inflammation?

Thanks for the info - I'll probably try some spironolactone

I wish they would put RU on the general market - if it's that good, you'd think someone would want to make money from it.

I would expect to see performance from RU58841 that's similar to what you get with Propecia. Considering what big disappointments Propecia and Rogaine have been for their companies in terms of sales, it doesn't really surprise me that nobody wants to invest big bucks into a messy topical which works only about as well as Propecia, and costs a lot more to manufacture than Propecia.

why have Propecia and Rogaine sales been disappointing? I know neither of them are guaranteed to work, but considering most men will do anything to stop hairloss, I'm surprised thay don't sell better.

I guess the generic versions might have something to do with it.

Most guys don't fight baldness when they are NW1. They assume looks don't matter. Then when they hit NW3 or 4 and realize looks do matter to women, it is too late. Propecia won't grow it back. So they don't get customers from either group. But when DNA testing gets affordable, I'm sure many men will get on propecia at age 18.
