Avodart
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?

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.

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.

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.

I took 1mg of Avodart twice a week and 1mg of Propecia 5 times a week and within a month I had extremely puffy nipples. I immediately got off Avodart and stayed on Propecia and the puffy nips are still here 8 months later.....sucks.
One reason why it hasn't been approved probably

I would LOVE if Avo was cheaper. Costs 400+ every time I refill
Not sure it would necessarily get cheaper if approved for hair though....when Propecia came out it was actually more expensive than Proscar per mg. (Insurance not covering it was no help)
Then again Propecia was 1/5 the dose of Proscar. If Avo was approved for hair, maybe they would sell 1-3 mg capsules since it is much more dose dependent?
