simpllyhuge said:well i made my own spiro. i used cetaphil cream and use used double the mount of tabs. i measured the apporoximate amount of lotion in abeaker and crushed the spiro tabs in a double zip lock with a hammer. then i mixed it in the spiro cream. so i guess i have 6% now.
simpllyhuge said:well im not sure but the one percent extra cant hurt. i ended up adding more cream and making it weaker. its very thick and really can only be used while in the house
i need the powder with out the binders and also figure out how to put it in achohol instead or something
Spironolactone smells bad once in solution, so you’d better use that stuff only at night,
As for the pills with all the binders the solution will have a poor efficiency, so I would filter first the binders, the binders may also clog your pores.
Spironolactone dissolve in ethanol (ethyl alcohol) at 25 mg per ml, but don’t forget the binders so I would first buy 100 ml of ethanol throw the pills in it (not crushed) then shake from time to time to completely dissolve.
Then you take a funnel (or a glass that can go to the oven) and put a coffee filter on it, I’ll pour the solution and wait till all the liquid is filtered, the binders (they don’t dissolve in alcohol) will stay in the filter while the spironolactone will be in the ethanol solution. Then I’ll take the funnel (or glass) and put it for 90 minutes in the oven (ELECTRIC one) at 71°C, the ethanol will evaporate and you will be left with pure dry spironolactone powder (1,2 g), at 71°C spiro doesn’t degrade. . Then you’ll need
60 % of ethanol
10 % of propylene glycol (as a carrier)
20 % of purified (distilled) water
10 % of aloe vera
To be honest I wouldn’t use this formula on my face and it’s the first time I heard of spiro used topically to treat acne, but I’m gonna use it to prevent hairloss while on steroids (I already made the solution but without the aloe vera)
Ethanol is an alcohol and spiro like all fats needs an alcohol solution to stay in suspension. Plus ethanol is a penetration enhancer that will act synergistically with the propylene glycol. Ethanol will also evaporate fast once on the skin and you won’t get a residue on it.
As for the propylene glycol you can change it by any other PE (penetration enhancer) such as isopropyl myristate (15-30%) or oleic acid or glycerol. But propylene glycol is the best one to use after DMSO (not to be used on the face). I have a doc that treats on transdermals and topicals and penetration enhancers, do you want me to send it to you??
