Merck Filed Topical Finasteride Patent in 2001

Hi doctor:
I was searching online and I just saw that and I think might be interesting for you to see the future plan of action from Merck.

Merck Applies for Topical “Propecia” Patent

Interesting reading and thanks for sending! Keep in mind that a patent application doesn’t necessarily mean this is something that Merck will take to market, nor does it mean that a topical works as well as the oral pill. It’s not a clinical trial, but it mentions a study without providing much more information.
