Brief Summary  

A Phase I, Multiple dose, placebo controlled parallel group randomised double blind study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Spironolactone 5% topical cream in Healthy adult male subject.    Hormonal changes of serum testosterone and serum dihydrotestosterone in healthy adult male subject will also be evaluated. The study will be conducted in 30 subjects (i.e. 15 subjects per treatment arm). The study duration will be approx 16 days from the day of check-in during which subjects shall receive a dose of 1 gm of either the test formulation Spironolactone 5% topical cream or placebo formulation on ventral aspect of forearm (approx 16 cm2 of the body surface area) twice daily at an interval of 12 hours (±05 minutes) for 14 consecutive days (i.e. Day 01 to Day 14) under the supervision of trained study personnel. The site of application will be assessed by Skin Irritation Score additionally vital signs, clinical examination and general well being shall also be assessed.
