damn, that stuff loooks like it'll help out a lot. i hope it comes out soon. :freaked:

If by 'soon' you mean 5 years, then maybe if we're lucky. I have continued to listen for developments, and it continues to sound encouraging.

However remember, new Hair loss drugs get rumored all the time, all good in theory, but are usually lacking in results, and finasteride and Min are still the top dogs. OSH101 does sound like its going be a better treatment, but we really can't know that for certain until the trials are done.

thanks for the response u guys. yea, i hope it does work good and come out in 5 years and all. i am using propecia and my main goal is maintenance till somthing better comes out. so far so good. one of these days u guys, there will be some better stuff out there and we will all be getting our hair back. and flux, how is ur regiment working for u? :freaked:

My hair is definitly better then it was a year ago. I had big sheds in December and January (probably due to propecia). I am hoping for good regrowth in the months to come.

And much like you, I am just hoping that I am able to keep what I have until better treatments come out. I'm hoping I dont have to get a transplant to save my hair..

How come you have big sheds and yet have better hair?

Simple. Minoxidil.

Hairs have gained thickness. I buzzed my hair down to nothing after the sheds. My hair is still very short and I show a lot of scalp. I dont think I will ever get solid coverage again, but my hair was always a bit thin. Still it doesnt look bad, and I think better then it did a year ago. A few people have commented that its growing in well, so I know its not just in my head. And when the sheds start growing back, it should look even better.

I will actually be getting a digital camera soon and will post some pics.

Interesting! The slides presented on the site look very much like the slides used for tricomin and folligen. I wonder if copper peptides are invovled.

No mention of DHT.

Hope they hurry! :lol:

but when they compared this to rogaine they forget mentioning that

1) they used rogaine once a day instead of the recommended 2 when they compared it with their topical solution.

2) they didnt mention if they used 2% or 5% rogaine.

Thats true but they also used OSH101 only once a day too. It seems like most effective topicals have to be used twice a day.

One things for certain the marketing people at this company should think up a better name then OSH101. I had to look back at the previous posts just to remember the name.

I think Dutasteride and OSH101 will replace Finasteride and minoxidil in the future. Damn, wouldn't it be cool to be involved in the trial studies of OSH101.

 

[Kramer3]

I dont know about Dutasteride because of the potenital for too many side-effects. If I'm not mistaken its more potent the propecia and many already wonder what harm propecia's causing them.

Hopefully OSH101 will be a positive innovation.

True about dutasteride and it possibilty for more side effects. But if the right dosage is found out i think it can be very effective. Actually dutasteride is very effective in treating hairloss. The user Staribartfast is a good example. Also the side effects in propecia are observed in less than 2% of men so if dutasteride lets say twice as effective as finasteride then maybe the side effects may be observed in 4%. The only reason dutasteride isn't out for male pattern baldness treatment is because glaxo didn't pursue it any farther because of mergers and new people up top. Basically they didn't want to go through with it because they can't make a $500million dollar profit a year off of it. It would be closer to a $100million profit like rogaine and propecia. check this out if you haven't already. http://www.hairlosstalk.com/newsletter/ ... le&sid=224

Hmmm. Not sure I believe her account, although she seems credible enough. I just don't see what the big deal is with going through with stage 3 clinical trials. It can't be the cost. I mean consider the dustaride has already been shown to be physically safe and prescribable. Consider the fact that they already have the facilities manufacturing it in place. Even if phase 3 costs 100 million dollars (which I highly doubt), they start profiting after 1 year according to her projections. I guess it just seems silly to me to reject what seems to be easy money. I think it is more likely that there are more side effects (without a huge results improvement over finasteride) than they let on to or that the cost of the pill for people using it for the REAL purpose would be prohibitive to the non-insuranced covered hair loss treater (and they cant lower the cost without everyone buying the "hair loss" version). I bet that once dustaride is close to coming off patent they will get around to conducting th phase 3's needed for FDA approval...

but what do I know...

There is no way that propecia elicits only 2% side-effects. I know that alot of guys have experienced a lower sex-drive and watery semen which I would consider a side-effect. I worry sometimes right now about the side-effects of proscar. Knowing that those side-effects i experience right now could double would be too much for me.

I believe GLaxo would have released dutasteride as a hair loss treatment had it not merged with bigger companies. Glaxo was much smaller and a 100million dollar profit would be realy good for them but now since they are a huge corporation it isn't what it was. As for proscar, 5mg does have a higher rate of side effects then 1mg of finasteride that is propecia. Also it is known that the side effects usually subside after a while for most men.
