Bitmopost (allergen)

Any known sides from this? Propecia gave me gyno and Minox has swelled my face up like a grapefruit. Getting pretty desperate for a treatment that doesn't mess me up...

What's gyno?

What's gyno?

Male breast growth.

Guys should not shorten words like that because not everyone knows what they are talking about - but they do it anyways. It took me a while to learn the guy lingo used here.

There is no such thing as a medication that does not have side effects.

To be fair, I don't think he'd have known what he meant if he said gynecomastia either.

Yeah, I had to look it up months ago myself. But I might not have found it if all I had to go on was gyno.

so is your gyno still there after you stopped taking propecia, or now do you need surgery to get rid of it?

[NW777]

Yes, your right but at least I would have been able to look it up and get the correct definition if the word wasn't so cryptic. I'm sure you don't know every medical diagnosis out there either. This is a site also for the average Joe, not just for scholars. I try my best...

Haven't been off it long enough to know, but it's definitely not hurting as much. Don't have money for surgery so either way I'd have to wait, but I've read it goes away a few months after stopping. I'll try letrozole if it doesn't go away in three months. Apparently bodybuilders battle gynecomastia frequently and treat it with letrozole.

Sorry to not clarify, folks. Gyno=Gynecomastia=Male breasts=Bad

Tracy, thank you for your illuminating treatise on the known side effects of Latisse. That clears everything up...

Is it asking too much for Allergan's treatment to reverse diffuse thinning? Is this a realistic assumption? I afraid I'm setting myself up for dissapointment, but I really think they have something huge.

If Allergan's phase II bimatoprost trials are successful in September and prove that higher concentration bimatoprost is effective for the scalp, is it possible/legal for other companies or pharmacies to start making and selling their own versions of bimatoprost before Allergan finishes its clinical trials?

[Tracy C]

If you are still using Propecia and Rogaine, you are already using two medications that have the potential for treating diffuse thinning. What you haven't done is you haven't allowed a reasonable amount of time for the medication to work.

Allergan's treatment will be before you know it. For now stick with what you have. It might just work out for you.

I think it would still be protected by patent at that point.

[Pate]

I think it would still be protected by patent at that point.

Yeah IIRC Merck still has the Propecia patent for another year or so even though the 5mg Proscar patent is long-expired.

So by extension, it seems likely Allergan could market a patent-protected stronger version of bimatoprost even though the Lumigan patent is due to expire in a few months.

When Allergan's phase 2 ends in September, are they going to share results with the public or just move on to Phase 3?

Hold on while I look into my crystal ball....
