Where are the phase IIb results for Bimatoprost?

[unbalding]

Hello guys,

Please, what´s your opinion on latanoprost? Do you think it could give similar results to Bim? I know we don´t have enough info about Bim., but many local pharmacies here in Brazil are already selling latanoprost. So at least the safety of the formula seems to be proven.

Should i give it a try? Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

It is equivalent, but don't waste your money. It's .03%, which is useless. It looks like 1% is the sweet spot, but that would be a huge waste of money for something that is no better than minoxidil.

Thanks for the answer, unbalding. Well, i thought that maybe latanoprost could be used together with min. So they would have a synergy effect. By the way, many places sell a foam compounding of Latanoprost and MIn.

I didn´t know the results were weaker than minoxidil. I already use minoxidil for 20 years, i was hoping that latanoprost could help to improve minoxidil results.

They work by the same or similar mechanism, so I doubt using both would be of any benefit.

Thanks for the info.

BTW, i just checked here the dosage. It´s 0.005% and not 0.03%.

Latanoprost can improve minox, they are not the same, we actually don't know well how minox works at all, i've seen some pics of a doc which prescribed latanoprost to a minox user and it actually improved a little, but you have to be extremely lucky with that dosage, i think the minimum amount to hope for some hairs back are 0.1% or more, extremely expensive, we need to wait bim for something more stable in the results and mass produced

I don't recall anyone posting on the latest trial results but I saw this yesterday: http://www.hairlosscure2020.com/category/allergan/
The first R&D presentation PDF, on page 17, describes the results as "still early but positive results". I assume this is the latest trial as it posts results for Bimatoprost 1% & 3%. The results are a bit inconclusive as the Subject Self Assessment for minox is higher than for either 1% or 3% bim but the Expert Panel and Global Assessment is higher for Bim....by an estimated 10% to 20% (the graph is not detailed) over minox.
Not earth shattering but it looks like they plan to move forward as further studies are planned.
