There’s a 6 month exclusivity window for Dr Reddy’s to sell their generic (starting in January 2013). After that, I believe other generics can be sold in US pharmacies and you’ll possibly see prices come down.

Snippet from the article: Read the full story — Hair Club, Bosley hair company settle FTC charges
For what it’s worth, the article on MSN looks more like an advertorial than a news piece. The product is by Nisim, and is called F.A.S.T. Shampoo, but I don’t know what the initials stand for. They claim it makes hair grow up to 99% faster, but I have no clue what makes this shampoo […]
So far, we’ve looked at the history of FUE in part 1 and graft quality/survival in part 2… — FUE Today: The FUE market may reflect as much as 40% of the total hair transplant market today. I believe that 20% of the doctors offering FUE, are skilled in the process; however, a majority of […]
When it comes to hair transplants, some people don’t always finish what they start — perhaps due to money issues or just not wanting to go that route ever again because of disappointment in the results, failures of the surgery, or severe pain with the surgery. The pain and costs of more surgeries is a […]
The method of harvesting is not an issue in women who keep reasonably long hair. The cost differential might make a difference if you go the transplant route (FUT/strip will cost less per graft than FUE). Each technique has various pros and cons that we’ve written about before. People who pull at their hair and […]
Thanks for the information! It seems there are a wide range of markups for generic finasteride 5mg. $9 for 30 pills seem to be the lowest. If you cut those pills into four pieces, that is basically four months of hair loss treatment for 9 bucks. Doing the math, that’s $27 a year. Not too […]
I’ve been sent links to articles about the Propecia site being pulled down, but the few I’ve seen were actually just cleverly disguised advertisements for a class action lawyer. We posted about that site being down a couple weeks ago. Now I don’t know Merck’s intention (as I am not part of their inner circle), […]
If you purchased a car, whether a Chevy or a Mercedes, the price reflects the cost to deliver a quality product… not the income of the buyer. My staff is well paid and this reflects their skills to deliver a quality service, so the entire package of labor, surgical supplies, and the costs to run […]
The cost of the ARTAS robot is $200,000 and the doctor must pay a fee of $1/graft for its use. That cost must be factored into the doctor’s overhead for the procedure (rent and surgical supplies). The robot will not lessen the cost of a highly skilled staff, so I am not sure if the […]
Note: The annual meeting of hair surgeons was in held in Alaska this past week. The following review is very selective and is biased by the things that were interesting to me and what I (Dr. Rassman) thought could be interesting to the readers. This is part 7. More to come… *** Robot assisted hair […]
There are no ethical or legal issues associated with prescribing finasteride for androgenic alopecia. There is however a financial issue, as finasteride 5mg is about $30-$60 for 90 pills and finasteride 1mg is about $150 to $200 for 90 pills. If you cut the 5mg finasteride in four parts, the 90 pills should last you […]
I think that’s yet another site based in Canada that sells prescription drugs to US residents without a doctor’s prescription required. That is against the law. As such, I can’t vouch for any site that sells medication online illegally. There are many sites that do this, and I don’t even know how this stuff gets […]
I’ve been thinking about the case I wrote about last week — “How Many FUE Grafts Actually Grew?” — about how a patient (we’ll call him Mr. Smith) came to NHI after feeling royally screwed over by another clinic he went to for his follicular unit extraction (FUE) procedure. It’s quite an interesting case of […]
Snippet from the article: Read the full article — TheScientist.com – The Counterfeiter The article goes on to show how Kevin Xu was ultimately caught and convicted, but also delves into the fake pharmaceutical business. The rate of drug counterfeiting has gone up substantially in the past few years, and just goes to show how […]
