because it would cost them too much money... plus most people are too scared to take finasteride, so how would you even convince them to take avodart which is much stronger than finasteride?? Poor sales == not worth getting it approved

The trials were already finished in Korea it doesnt cost anything more to put it in front of the panels and let them aprove it or disaprove of it.
The havent even tried to get it aproved in Asia or Europe and any guy with a pair of ball would take it if they could buy it.

It's a little more complicated than that!

i don't really know but during the trials of avodart it was noted that other hormones increased (one of them was scalp testosterone, which increased by 19%). The long term effects of increasing hormones (the ones found in the trial) is unknown. Propecia only increased testosterone in the scalp and this increase was by 9% and that is considered acceptable.

Taking propecia and a topical that reduces DHT and T in the scalp would be ideal imo but no DHT/T reducing topicals are FDA approved.

If you find the increase in other scalp hormones to be an acceptable risk then go for avodart. But remember any testosterone can cause balding; but DHT is more likely to cause balding then anything else.

it wouldn't matter what the trials say... of course Avodart works but if most people are already scared of taking finasteride, how would you convince them to take dutasteride which has an even higher risk of side effects?
Poor sales == No money to be made. So why would they waste money on studies?

It all has to do with money. With the trials that came in, Glaxo/Smith/Kline figured rather than fund another expensive trial, Doctors will probably prescribe Dutasteride off label for male pattern baldness.

The reason why everyone MEN/WOMAN loses hair , secret that i am telling all of you , cause enough is enough of hiding this , TRUST ME ON THIS ! . i know people that do this for a living/job, its done totally underground , no one ever finds out or believes this . They do this by aiming electromagnetic waves energy/radiation remote at you/everyone and your hair gets brital and dry , and eventually it falls off . This is something extremely hard to believe , but this is what they use to make hair fall off and make money . All they have to do is put transmitters and recievers that go in your body/skin not always this way but most of the time is what they use and they aim the electromagnetic at you 24/7 it works by remote , they can do it from another building/somewhere else , you would not believe how this can be done , but it is happening. I can guarantee that you get most of these symtoms -- 1.split ends,dry, brittle,coarse ,lighter hair, itching , scalp itch , a weird feeling like pulse/chill on scalp ,you will also feel like you feel something moving in your scalp or hair , heat around your hair/scalp/head , ect,ect,ect. this is hard to believe people , but this is what's happening as we speak. they are trying to keep this a major secret from the public , and trust me they are doing a wonderful job threating people who are whare of this scam/technology . PLEASE PEOPLE BELIEVE ME , I AM NOT GOING TO TELL YOU A FIB OR SAY THIS CAUSE I WANT TO SCARE ANYONE , I AM TELLING THE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH ! it sounds kind of nuts , but this is how they are doing it (HAIR LOSS) .

:bravo:

GSK decided that dutasteride was already too similar to finasteride (even though it may be more effective) they wouldn't hit the market saturation they would have liked. Getting a drug through FDA trails takes a lot of time and even more money, so they figured it wouldn't be profitable. Propecia doesn't make much money for Merck, so they probably saw that also.

Yeah it was just the usual risk/reward where there was not enough money in it given the alternatives and the risk sides. Lets be honest no one with any common sense would want to alter all the hormones that even propecia does if a better topical alternative existed. No one understands exactly what changing all these hormones is doing or if these slight changes over the long term are harmful or beneficial. So if you take propecia and it messes something up the doctors are going to say oh here try this, but they do not know either. Its not a good idea to mess with these given how complex it is in my opinion so dutasteride is just taking that risk even farther.
