    TLDR A method was found to accurately measure spironolactone and canrenone in blood samples using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.
    The document presents a validated method using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) for simultaneously quantifying spironolactone (SPI) and its active metabolite canrenone (CAN) in plasma samples. The method demonstrated linearity in the concentration range of 0.4 to 5.0 µg mL−1, with a coefficient of variation less than 5%, and recovery rates for SPI and CAN from plasma ranging from 87.4% to 112.1%. The limits of detection for SPI and CAN were 0.07 μg mL−1 and 0.03 μg mL−1, respectively, and their limits of quantification were 0.20 μg mL−1 and 0.08 μg mL−1, respectively. Despite the interference of plasma, the method was deemed feasible for use in pharmacokinetic studies of medicines containing SPI.

      Crushing spironolactone pills and combining them with minoxidil for topical application may be effective for hair loss, with the addition of finasteride suggested. Adding rosemary and peppermint oils can help mask the unpleasant smell.

      in Female  4 upvotes 3 months ago
      Spironolactone can remain effective for a long time in treating androgenetic alopecia, but it may not completely stop hair loss. Hair loss treatments like spironolactone, finasteride, and dutasteride slow down hair loss rather than cure it, and their effectiveness can vary based on individual response and the aggressiveness of the condition.

      in Treatment  7 upvotes 8 months ago
      Spironolactone is more potent and lowers testosterone and DHT, while dutasteride only impacts DHT. For female hair loss, checking hormones and considering treatments like oral minoxidil, spironolactone, or topical minoxidil is recommended.

      A user is considering Spironolactone for hair loss but is advised against it due to its effects on testosterone. Instead, they are recommended to try finasteride at 18 and consider dutasteride if needed.
