Obviously its a high margin drug and lots of profits to be made, plenty of baldies out there. So why dont we see tv commercials like we do with v**** and such. I dont remember what was going on when it first came out, maybe it was all over tv and I didnt realize it?

There used to be some TV spots long ago. You can bet they'd advertise more if there was a payoff to be had. Advertising only subtracts from the bottom line if it fails. I suspect there's not as much to be made as you'd think.

There used to be commercials for it, but not many.

Regardless, the world revolves around sex....not hair. Plus you have no competeting companies really. Look at weiner drugs, there are 3. Hair...0.

I remember seeing commercials for it in like 98? I was watching television with friends at the time, before my hair decided to take a dive (little did I know at the time).. anyways, I commented as to the unusualness of the name. When I hear the word propecia it always made me think of the name of some little girl living in the ghetto whos name was propecia and I depicted the scene of her mother standing at the front porch yelling... "propecia!.. propecia!.. girl you better get your *** back into the house!"

Anyways, seeing as we were extremely baked at the time, it was much funnier. :)
