I am getting a little tired of people "worried" about spironolactone/revivogen/Azelaic acid not being a replacement for Propecia. The science behind them suggests that the aforementioned combination is as effective at preventing DHT from binding to the follicle as propecia, perhaps even more so. That is to say, the combo allows for inhibition of DHT (blocks the 5-alpha reductase enzyme) and competes for position on receptor sites for DHT on the hair follicle.
Coupled with minoxidil, I have settled on Sprio, Azelaic Acid, Retin-A, Copper Peptides and Nizoral.
I quite propecia because I felt that I had brain fog from it. Further, I feel DHT has a purpose in the body. To be sure, a basic reading of a biochemistry textbook supports this. One is its function in tissue regulation.
Many people have had good results with propecia, but some bad too. Appears spironolactone users are in the same position. Because of my thinning hairline, I feel that my treatment is as good as one with propecia and minoxidil. I assert that if this doesn't work, not much else will, including adding propecia.
The only question is how credible is the research on spironolactone and Azelaic acid? If it is, then we can all assume that such a combo is as effective as propecia and end the debate.
