Why Is Avodart Not Approved Yet?

I keep reading and seeing all these photos of people using Avodart and the results are amazing.Why is this drug not FDA approved.I really want to start a new game plan with my hairloss.I can not afford anymore hairloss.

This drug is approved by the FDA for the treatment of prostate enlargement. So while Avodart has been deemed safe for treating the prostate, it is not approved for hair loss. The drug is currently targeted towards older men, but any drug for hair loss would probably be targeted at a younger market. I am not an expert on the toxicology of drugs, so I can not comment on the effects of Avodart use by the young man, however, I do believe that there may be indications for use in young men, such as those who are failing to get their hair loss under control with Propecia, for example. I am not the manufacturer or the FDA, and without clinical trials and proven scientific results about the use of Avodart in hair loss, I can’t have complete confidence of its efficacy. A doctor can elect to prescribe this drug ‘off label’ if the doctor is comfortable with the medication use.
