community If i add a little daily dose of spironolactone (25 mg a day) would the improvement to my hair loss be significant? and also how likely is it to give me unwanted effects? My current regimen is 6 days / week oral Finasteride, 1 day / week oral Dutasteride and twice a day minoxidil foam
Adding 25 mg of spironolactone daily is unlikely to significantly improve hair loss and may not be effective at that dose. Current regimen includes oral finasteride, oral dutasteride, and minoxidil foam.

7 / 801 results- Can daily Fluridil application stop hair follicle miniaturization? The single published fluridil trial (43 men, 9 months, double-blind and placebo-controlled) reported more hairs in the growth phase, but it never measured follicle diameter and has not been replicated — so whether daily use stops miniaturization is unproven, and community users describe stabilization rather than regrowth.
