Avodart

[BoSox]

Is the FDA even going to approve this drug? It's almost 2011.. and I'm sick of seeing how great Avodart is compared to Propecia, but not FDA approved yet. Does anybody have more information about its release?

Looks like GSK may be starting trials for Dutasteride 0.5mg as a licensed hair loss treatment.

there are too many people having imaginary side effects using Fin, so don't think they will approve DUT

Hardly cutting edge; this was an unnecessary bump considering this forum section, Pentarou.

This could lead to a 'new' product licenced as a hair loss treatment being made available from a Big Pharma corp, so it was worth mentioning.

I agree.

Also, you never know, maybe if this drug gets approved for hair loss and sold as a hair loss treatment, it would be much cheaper. I can afford generic as it is, but getting it for even cheaper certainly won't hurt. One more thing, it would be nice to see more detailed clinical trials on a larger scale. The one available now is pretty informative but I mean a full 3 phase trial would nice.

Are you seriously waiting for it to be approved as a hairloss treatment? It's approved already for BPH. IT works for hairloss better than fin and talk to any pharmacist or doctor cause it works better for BPH than fin as well.
