Does anyone truly know how the approval process works. I did some research and it seems like explanations are all over the place with people saying it takes from 12-18 years to get a product approved. How long does it really take? With drugs like cb,sm, and him in the pipeline we could be waiting 6 more years for these products? I don't know. COudl someone who really understands this process please explain. All I could find was this chart. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Dr...on_Process.jpg

The FDA is part of the United States Federal Government. That would explain why it takes 18 months to 'OK' a treatment.
I would also be surprised if they even have qualified staff to make such judgments. My guess is submissions must proceed through several layers of "make work" government staff who rubber stamp them between nap time and game time, before reaching a contractor who actually performs the review.Comment

I think it's all about liability. Not fair to the public to rush a treatment into service then find out 5 years later that it kills people or doesn't do anything. You think the industry is corupt now, just think if the FDA or other entity wasn't involved. I work in a heavily regulated industry. It's hurry up and wait.
I said this before that the cure might be out there but no one knows the dose, frequency etc to it. What if the cure is a product that histogen or one of it's sub companies has right now but it's used for skin care say Neocell from CellCeuticals? Please i'm just throwing that out there as an example. however to say it grows hair safely then it better grow hair and be safe.Comment

I just don't understand how Spencer and Joe from Staten Island say Bimatroprost may be available next year if it is still only in phase 2. I would say that it is because it is already out for eyelashes, but it is in phase 3 in eyelashes so why wouldn't that go straight to market after phase 2?Comment
