I was just watching the news and they had story about arimidex. they said it was just barely FDA approved for the Treatment of breast cancer. I just always assumed that it was.

What dose that mean for us? I don’t' know. lol
hope fully it means the price will go down. Because more companies will start making it now. I hope so!

I just thought I would let you guys know. I was kind of excited to see it. its not every day I see the products I use on tv.lol

yea I think your right supper. they probable just approved for a new use.

but that means more people using it. that means more people buying it and more money being made from it. with in turn means more companys makeing it. then thier is more compitition and a cheaper product. .

it will most likely never benifit us now that I think of it.lol

maybe Zeneca took my advice

I actually wrote them and told them about how well it has done for me after my gyno surgery and suggested that they look into a study of males with possible gyno and ofcourse I volunteered my services for the study!!! And this was back in 97 when I got my script for it so I know it was approved at least that far back.

Once it gets FDA approved they may jack the price up more. They'll Claim it's R&D. Heard on the news a few weeks back Drug companies spend more on Advertising. After watching a night of TV I agree.
