I added spironolactone (200mg/day) about 6 months ago to my regimen (proscar, minoxidil, RU & nizoral). I continue to lose hair but I think the spironolactone has slowed down the rate of loss. I want to take the next step and add to this regimen so I've ordered Cyproterone Acetate.

I intend on taking the spironolactone and Cypro at the same time but is there a danger to this? I'm reluctant to only take Cypro as I'm worried that the hairs maintained on spironolactone would then be lost. Or, does Cypro work in the same way as spironolactone and therefore any hairs that were maintained on spironolactone would also be maintained while just on Cypro?

There's absolutely no reason to take both. Just swap to cypro + E.

Lowering your T without replacing it can give you osteoporosis, depression and destroy your libido.

So any gains from taking Sprio will at the very least be maintained by replacing it for Cypro? Is this just like swapping propecia for dutasteride?

What Norwood are you? How long have you been on this treatment?

Oh, this might be a stupid question too, but are you worried about osteoporosis from cyproterone?
