Brew Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 http://www.latisse.com/ 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.

Racer1_NC Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiny Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiny Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 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. spiny 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.

Brew Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 Something tells me I've failed entirely to make my point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiny Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Sorry Brew, I'm just in a really foul mood and I am sure that I missed the point you wanted to make. :-[ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stump BeefKnob Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 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.
