So they did what they had always planned on doing: increasing the concentration and changing the formulation to try to get better absorption through the thick skin on the scalp to get the active ingredients to the follicles. This is basically what they planned on doing all along.

    That being said, they may still not get sufficient results. But the results of that trial that is being written about is not proof or even good evidence that it won't work. The results of the upcoming trial will be much more informative.

    Excellent news! Actavis has taken over allergan and valeant has said they will not try to compete. At the least, this should mean that we'll eventually know what the results of the clinical trials were.

    This is pure speculation, but actavis spent a ton of money for allergan, 66 billion. That's 13 billion more than valeant's highest offer. Actsvis had stated that they will not cut any research and development and there's probably not much money to be gained by synergies between the two company's product lines. So they're hoping to make money the good old fashioned way: by introducing new products that will generate big sales. Granted Botox has many under exploited applications, but it's fair to assume that actavis believes allergan has some big moneymakers in the pipeline. Here's hoping it's bimatiprost for hair!

    66 billion is a LOT of money, let's hope that figure means they are banking on some impressive results from bimatoprost.

    Btw - does anybody know if there's any evidence out there that shows bimatoprost could be more effective with something like dermaroliing?

    No problem at all, glad to see some people were interested. I was following the process of the takeover attempt a little too closely since it started last march and while there were definitely times when things did not look good, one of the best possible outcomes has occurred and I am very happy about that.

    The current clinical trial is set to be completed January 2015, as indicated on their listing on clinicaltrials.gov. Allergan typically releases the results of their clinical trials within several months of their completion, and hopefully that will continue to be the case under their new owners. When allergan announced the results of the last clinical trial for this product in May 2013 they actually described the current ongoing trial as the first of two that they had planned. It's good that they are (or were) committed to fully investigating this drug's potential, and hopefully we'll hear something one way or the other about the current trial results early in the new year. As far as the second trial, i imagine it could be abandoned if the results of the current one are very good or very bad, or it may go ahead regardless.

    I believe this is all there is to know at this point . While the future is still uncertain, this is a legitimate possibility and a very well established and professional company, so there's definitely reason to keep following this, if not to feel slightly hopeful.

    So, Do you think we will be able to buy bimatoprost x% from Asia markets in 2015?
