Making your own spironolactone

[Boondock]

Hey guys, I've got a question and hoped some of you might be able to help me out with it. Right now I'm looking to try spironolactone out, since minoxidil does not do anything for me after over a year of use (not to mention the 'minoxidil flakes' I get from it).

I'd like to make my own spironolactone, partly because it's cheaper and partly because I can be sure of the strength.

Does anybody know how to do this? What ingredients do you use? And is there any way to replicate Dr. Crisler's 'liposomal delivery system'?

I'm in the UK, but can of course order stuff internationally.

This is courtesy of the blokes at HLH, but it is the instructions I plan I using to make it;

spironolactone cream is very simple. First, I purchase the spironolactone from unitedpharmacies.com. Runs $42.00 USD per bottle (100mg tablets/ 100 ct). For the cream, I use a generic Cetaphil non-irritating skin cleanser (that's what it's called). Runs around $7.00 USD.

Note: Each bottle of spironolactone contains enough to make 3.3 2oz tubs of spironolactone cream. Each bottle of the Cetaphil non-irritating skin cleanser contains enough to make around 6 tubs of 2oz spironolactone clean. So, you end up paying $15.00 USD per tub (not $10.00 like I mentioned earlier, but still a good deal)

For mixing:

-30 spironolactone tablets
-60 ml (2 oz) of generic Cetaphil cream (i.e, same amount of volume as most generic minoxidil containers)

For crushing the tablets, I employ a mortar & pestle, but you can also simply crush them in a bowl with the right pounding device, or some such similar tool.

I don't really know about a LDS, although I would like to find out. I have found a few creams that have a LDS but they contain other ingredients that wouldn't make them suitable as a base.
I honestly don't think it would make that much of a difference, it certainly wouldn't be the difference between spironolactone working and spironolactone not working.

Good luck and tell me how you fare!
