| Avodart vs Propecia
Tested by the makers with great results as a hair loss treatment.
Approved by the FDA for the treatment of enlarged prostate (BHP condition only)
These pictures are the results that GlaxoSmithKline (maker of Avodart) released during testing of the medication that is known as Dutasteride (Avodart) for hair loss treatment.
The pictures on the right are the outcome of the second phase (Phase II) study which is required by the FDA for future drug’s approval. Phase III trials have already begun.
Currently Avodart is approved by the FDA for the treatment of enlarged prostate (BPH) condition only. Similar to this was the case for Proscar (Finasteride), the drug intended for enlarged prostate treatment. Proscar (Finasteride) was later approved for the treatment of hair loss as well, under the name Propecia. |
