Patent On Propecia Expires And Gives Way To Generic Drugs
Propecia, developed in 1992, is a drug that was used to treat prostate cancer in men until 1997 when it was approved by the FDA to treat male pattern baldness conditions in men. Propecia is taken orally, and has been proven to improve hair loss conditions in about 30-65% of the men who take it, so it is not a guaranteed cure for hair loss. It is most effective in the crown area, although Propecia has also proven to be effective in re stimulating hair growth around the hairline. In 2006, Merck’s patent on Propecia expired, allowing other companies such as Cipla and Ranbaxy to market generic versions of the drug with no infringement repercussions.
