Bitmopost (allergen)

[TravisB]

The nice thing about this is that Latisse is already being prescribed by some doctors for hairloss, it's just not FDA approved for that purpose. We shouldn't have to wait years for Allergen to finish their trials-once (if) they release good phase 2 results in September, we should be seeing other companies releasing higher concentration bimatoprost in early 2013 or MAYBE even late 2012. Spencer has said this is a real possibility.

It won't be FDA approved at that time, but most people on here won't care about that since it has already proven to be safe through Allergen's phase I trials.

Yeah, Latisse is around 100$ for 3ml. It's enough for one application on scalp

no they didn't.... bimatoprost or whatever was used to treat glaucoma. Many people have gotten long eyelashes and many women have tried applying it to the scalp with great results. This is just another "hair growth" treatment that was discovered by accident...

All right, thx for the info.
Ok but are they now in trials for the cure against glaucoma or MPB? Both?

Now I'm on the new formula 3 months in with dncn and astressin b,I tried propecia but get too fat, trx2 was a waste of time ATM my hair is stale 3 months in, I just dont see why they would bring a treatment out like this if it was not better than rogaineSpectral etc and bother going to the FDA!!

Yeah I think so too. FDA trials are not cheap, and if they didn't expect Bim to be more effective than Minox, they wouldn't bother doing the trials.

No I'm taking when spectral dnc like 2008

no it won't... you see, there is a "smart" molecule inside bimatoprost that is able to detect its surroundings and if it finds itself near the temples, it will shut off itself automatically so it won't work...

sarcastic right?

[thechamp]

Some people have got results on temples with rogaine

Spectral dnc gave me results on all my scalp I think this treatment will grow hair all over be optimistic!!!

[BoSox]

will it reverse my thinning hair 100% or just maintain it?

And how does Bitmopost work? Prostaglandins... ?
They're nearing the end of Phase 2, this means they knew about the effects of Prostaglandins before the news came out that Cotsarelis had made a big discovery about it?
Again, I'm confused.

Would this work on the hairline/temples and areas where a HT has been done?

no it won't... you see, there is a "smart" molecule inside bimatoprost that is able to detect its surroundings and if it finds itself near the temples, it will shut off itself automatically so it won't work...

[thechamp]

If its better than minoxil bring it on

For some people it may be enough for others who knows

[ovoxo]

just to make it clear, it is called Bimatoprost, and I guess the theory is that it increases the levels of good prostaglandines

[yeahyeahyeah]

Why did they call it cure for baldness in the article, when it's going to be just better Minox? If the results won't be much, much better than Minox, then I guess it's not hitting the market, because what's the point then?

They said propecia was a cure when it came out

[john2399]

Why the hell do they need to do phase 3 if this crap is already approved by the fda for eyelashes. This is so annoying....these companies have to know balding men have no dam patience.
