Bitmopost (allergen)

No I'm taking when spectral dnc like 2008

Now I'm on the new formula 3 months in with dncn and astressin b,I tried propecia but get too fat, trx2 was a waste of time ATM my hair is stale 3 months in, I just dont see why they would bring a treatment out like this if it was not better than rogaineSpectral etc and bother going to the FDA!!

Yeah I think so too. FDA trials are not cheap, and if they didn't expect Bim to be more effective than Minox, they wouldn't bother doing the trials.

no they didn't.... bimatoprost or whatever was used to treat glaucoma. Many people have gotten long eyelashes and many women have tried applying it to the scalp with great results. This is just another "hair growth" treatment that was discovered by accident...

All right, thx for the info.
Ok but are they now in trials for the cure against glaucoma or MPB? Both?

The nice thing about this is that Latisse is already being prescribed by some doctors for hairloss, it's just not FDA approved for that purpose. We shouldn't have to wait years for Allergen to finish their trials-once (if) they release good phase 2 results in September, we should be seeing other companies releasing higher concentration bimatoprost in early 2013 or MAYBE even late 2012. Spencer has said this is a real possibility.

It won't be FDA approved at that time, but most people on here won't care about that since it has already proven to be safe through Allergen's phase I trials.

Yeah, Latisse is around 100$ for 3ml. It's enough for one application on scalp

I'm pleased that we now have an active thread dedicated to Bimatoprost, which I think has real potential. Is there any way to tell whether Allergan is ramping up for a Phase III trial? I would think by now it would be apparent from the ongoing Phase II trial whether the product has potential.

[john2399]

anyone know how this will be applied is it a cream or liquid? and is there any chance we could get it by next year ?

[Gjm127]

Again, is Bitmopost (Allergen) doing the trials for glaucoma or MPB?
If it's for glaucoma, doesn't it mean they need to go back and re-do all the trial phases?

[ovoxo]

it is already approved for glaucoma, they are doing trials for mpb now, and they are I think in phase II

It shouldn't bee so hard to se if this works. Pick a spot on hairline take pictures buy latisse use 3 months, take picture agin......?

You will not get great results from the formulation that is currently available for eyelashes. The clinical trials are being conducted on 3 stronger versions.

[eqvist]

Okay that makes me worried on the price if this works but lets start with see if it works.

Another thing that i don't understand is why the f*ck they did´t start testing on pattern alopecia when they notice the effect on eye lashes?????

[mlao]

You can't predict the price of a version for MPB. It's interesting though that Allergen's patent on the version they are currently using for eyelashes will run out at the end of this year and now they are testing a version for the scalp.
I suppose if it's a success they will begin to manufacture more of it and reduce the cost compared to the current price. I hope so at least.

[thechamp]

This has to hit the shelf soon

A year and half max I hooe

Six months would be more reasonable. I plan to use it for six months before attempting to decide if it is doing any good.
