Avodart Advertised in usa!

Wow, just saw a TV ad for advodart! guess they are going to market it now?

Avodart has always been marketed to physicians in the US... for BPH (prostate) at .5mg/day. Direct to consumer advertising is new, though. It does not have approval for male pattern baldness and will not until phase III trials are done (don't hold your breath).

are you going to tell us about the ad

It basically talked about as a men's grooming aid. Lots of those soft pretty pictures walking along a beach etc, that's about it.

Surprising...wonder if propecia will finally have real competition so its price comes down to proscar price levels?

as a mens grooming aid?, do you mean that it was advertised as a hairloss treatment, i thought it was only for enlagred prostates

I've seen the commercial. It's for prostate health.

ok i was getting excited that they might be marketing it for hairloss

I would love to try it, as minoxidil and finasteride hasnt done anything to improve my hair
but am reluctant to untill its aproved for hair loss

That is strange, i recall it being said "mens grooming aid"
nothing about prostate treatment...

You can watch the commercial at http://www.avodart.com

It's a guy that has to take a leak all the time.

He does have a pretty good head of hair.
