A drug, available by prescription only, designed to allow humans to grow thicker, fuller eyelashes. Made by Allergan.

I wonder how many $$millions were spent on development, testing and marketing - that weren't spent on BOL-148.

Society is moving - but not forward. It's more like swirling the drain.

It probably was a toenail fugus drug that didn't work....and someone noticed the effect on eyelashes. Gotta make that R&D money back somehow.

latisse: My understanding is that it is a side affect of a drug for glaucoma. They found out it would grow your eyelashes and marketed it for that.

It was an accidental discovery, not R&D for eyelashes.

'Latisse, was first approved in 2001 as a medical product to lower intraocular pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.' This according to drugs.com.

It was 8-10 years later that it was approved for eyelashes.

So, BOL-148 is going to be tested in Germany and Austria.

I posted their email to me regarding their progress the first week of April.

Almost no interest or replies. Thanks to Dallas Denny for his reply. 8-)

Therefore, don't bitch when it comes out for MIGRAINES and we get second billing. Sorta like Latisse. >

Have fun, but don't bitch.

who is in a crappy mood

In case ya don't know, every time they find a NEW use for a drug, their patent is extended. That keeps profits up. That is how they FUND it!!!!!! Lyrica was to go off patent YEARS ago and didn't, because of this.

I should have just let this go by, but being 'ill', in the Southern sense, I didn't.

Something tells me I've failed entirely to make my point.

Sorry Brew,

I'm just in a really foul mood and I am sure that I missed the point you wanted to make. :-[

Sorry Brew, I wasn't meaning to make light of your point. I certainly see what you are saying, and agree that money is being spent in the wrong places and this nation is going to hell in a handbasket.
