A google search reveals that pharmacies are selling it https://www.americaspharmacy.com/drug/winlevi and also my dermatologist confirmed this. Tubes are 60g 1% cream (0.60 g CB) The price without insurance is roughly $600 / tube, or $1000 / g CB. Good news is my insurance covers it for acne usage, and I was quoted at $35 / tube, or $58.30 / g CB. This is just my insurance, YMMV. I'll ask my derm about compounding opportunities for different vehicles.
Winlevi is now available in the USA

$600 a tube....or 35$ with insurance. How fucked is the USA?
Looks like raws can be extracted from creams. I don't think compounding pharmacies will have access to the API (not confirmed, I'll ask my derm), but they do sometimes work from existing products (e.g. open capsules or crush tablets).

That seems pretty normal . Even in Canada insurance cover that much for some treatment
No one actually pays list price. It's just where the pharma company wants to "start negotiating" the price downwards from.
Read up on list price vs net price as it pertains directly to pharma, before you get into some false outrage. This concept of drug price negotiations (and a starting "list price" before negotiations/discounts/rebates) applies to both the US and Europe.
I don't live in the USA, I'm just reacting to information passed on by someone who seemingly does. It's not false outrage for me to be told something and react to it.

Wonder how much cassiopeia will price Breezula when it hits the market. I’m guessing for americans they can get it on their insurance? Or would it technically being classed as a cosmeceutical cause issues?
Like here in the UK Breezula has zero chance of being covered by the NHS so surely this would force Cassiopeia to compete with Regaine on pricing, my guess is it’ll be about £40-60 per month, any higher and it would surely fail.

How long is this $600 tube supposed to last?
I note that oral minoxidil is essentially free by "drinking topical minoxidil, and the Loniten tabs are fairly inexpensive too. Estrogel for an 80 gram tube runs about $25 dollars and well, everyone tends to differ in how much they use but, yeah it was getting pricey at a usage rate of one tube per week. I am certain that it works far better for hair than winlevi for people using HRT who are "just in it for the hair" but it also goes systemic and hitting adult female target levels are probably necessary for it to regrow significant hair. It might be an excellent DHT fighter at the scalp level.
Estrogen in my estimation is the number one hair treatment when used on the scalp, then come the anti-androgens spironolactone, cyproterone acetate and bicalutamide, with the first two being dirt cheap and the third being pricey. But they are also feminizing. Next comes either finasteride/dutasteride or oral minoxidil. I get my duta covered by insurance, then comes Keto and then come the ones like RU and CB.

Do you undestand that most people here are not transgeder wanna be, right ? So estradiol is not an option for 99 % ( or more ) of the people who read this forum .
