Difference between spironolactone 2% VS 5%

Does spironolactone 5% necessarily mean its stronger and more efficient than the 2% version? (like in minoxidil).
I see some guys use 2% in the morning and 5% at night. Is this because 2% is a lotion and 5% is a cream? Do you guys think twice a day is necessary? I heard that spironolactone's effect is very short term so twice a day is better.
Lastly, why doesn't HairLossTalk.com sell any spironolactone to us? I'm sure it'll make our purchases more convenient!! (if we're already getting other things from HairLossTalk.com)

2% is a liquid...5% is a lotion.I think effects are similiar although people get 5% because it has no odor although 2% is way easier to apply especially if you have anything other then a buzz cut.

But why doesn't HairLossTalk.com sell it too?
Also, anyone else wants to comment if the 5% is better than the 2%?
