Is this oral or topical? Thanks

[GoneForever]

I emailed the owner of website and he said its only topical just like all products but I think this is for his legal safety, b/c they also sell finasteride and he said thats topical too. I wont mention the website but this is the product. Is this to be taken orally? Or is it topical? thanks

Here is prodcut info:
Spironolactone does many things to our bodies. First, it is a "potassium sparing" diuretic (water pill) commonly used to remove surplus fluid from the body's bloodstream or tissues. It also acts as an aldosterone inhibitor (prevents salt retention) and can be used to treat high blood pressure, hypertension and in some cases advanced heart failure. As for its indications in hair, Spironolactone is known to be a well tolerated and effective antiandrogen. It is sometimes used to treat female pattern baldness and excessive facial hair (hirsutism) in women and men use it as an antiandrogen. Hirsutism is most often caused by increased production of male sex hormones also known as androgens. It is also affected by increased sensitivity to androgens in the hair follicles, and the secretory glands around the hair follicles, called sebaceous glands.

Recently there are studies (Berardesca E, Gabba P, Ucci G, Borroni G, Rabbiosi G.) which suggest that topical spironolactone can act as an antiandrogen in human sebaceous glands, competing with DHT receptors and producing a decrease of labeled DHT. This means that topical spironolactone may slow down or stop hairloss by working as a DHT receptors blocker. Some have been experimenting with low dose Spironolactone with success.

I wouldnt use the spiro orally unless your are using it as a diuretic.For hairloss I use it topical on the scalp and it works pretty good just has a bit of an odor.The reasons I would hesitate to use it orally is because spiro is not very soluable and a lot of labs use alcohol(isopropyl ?) in their mix and i would be leary about ingesting any alcohol thats not meant for drinking.Some use peg to get it in solution and thats safe but either way if I did this stuff orally Id have nolva on hand.
