Is Dutasteride going to be approved for treating men hair loss?
Right now, it is not clear if and when it will be approved for the treatment of hair loss by the FDA. Some speculate that this is going to happen in 2006, some speculate the company may not offer the medication for the treatment of hair loss for purely commercial & marketing reasons. Keep in mind, these are all speculations, nothing is official. It’s worth noting that when Finasteride first came into the market (under the brand name Proscar) it was approved only for the treatment of BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia). Later, the FDA approved the medication for the treatment of hair loss, which was marketed by Merch under the brand name Propecia. It may very well be the same case for Dutasteride, yet this is only a speculation.
