What dose of Eplerenone should i take alongside 2.5 mg Oral minox to counter the bloat? 25 or 50 mg?

Eplerenone won’t mitigate the bloat oral minoxidil give

why

why

Because it’s a different mechanism, eplerenone just doesn’t counteract the mechanism in which oral minoxidil causes bloat

i thought minoxidil increases aldersterone and eplerenone inhibits aldersterone; which mechanism does minoxidil bloat through then?

yeah but the minoxidil doesn’t cause bloat just by (in)directly increasing aldosterone, it has a few more major mechanisms. Eplerenone can reduce the bloat only to an extent since aldosterone is not the only thing that causes bloat

Minoxidil also has direct renal effects which causes insane bloat in results of more water and sodium retention; and eplerenone can’t counteract this mechanism

I tried Epe and I found it didn’t really make a difference
