Pharma companies sometimes also take out health care providers when they developed a better treatment. I remember when there was a new pill for treating Hepatitis C the company holding the patent wanted some few hundred dollars from insurances for a month of treatment - simply because public health insurances in some countries of Europe were obliged to pay for significantly better treatments. I do not know how the cure will look like but with a cure that would be affordable for the middle-class around the world it would be possible to make a few hundred times more profit than some expensive solution. I hope that if a better treatment comes it will be one that most sufferers will be able to afford.

I hope so, too. But it will be very unlikely. They will probably orientate on hair transplantations when it comes to pricing. I bet there are enough people who are willing to pay high prices.

Honestly, I paid already some 4-5k already on some different treatments over the past few years. Hopefully the cure will be nothing you will have to pay for your lifetime. I will end up not having anything for college tuition for my children because I spend all the money on my hair.

So, it is very subjective. Perhaps everyone would make use of a hair loss if it was available under 40 bucks a month.
What I hear all the time is people talk about others that they know who are balding and assume that they are OK with it because they get up and function every day, yet they themselves have not and could not allowed themselves to go bald. I remember reading about one survey which found that although the vast majority of balding men are indeed bothered by hair loss, only a scant sliver of them actually use today's treatments. That really goes to show that the vast majority of hair loss sufferers view today's treatments as being limited and very mediocre, and illustrates how desperately we need new and better treatments.

exactly.. i am actually one of them. I dont use any treatments and I am Nw5. after all why should i? taking drugs every day for the rest of my life doesnt really make sense for my health. but it doesnt mean i dont care about my baldness. I can give up to 70K if there is a cure out there. and I know many of my friends would do the same....
thats why I dont believe people saying no one really cares about hairloss. there is huge money in this market

Really hope that these new patents will make a change to this in the next 5 years. A lot of exiting research is going on at the moment. I hope that there will be at least something as effective as Finasteride that has less side effect. I would like to take Finasteride, but these possible side effects are scary.
