On Friday of last week Evolus drug Jeuveau gained approval from the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) of the United States of America.

This drug will for sure be the cheaper rival of Allergan’s Botox.

What does Jeuveau do? It removes wrinkle lines on the forehead and frown wrinkles. This is significant as Baby Boomers (people who are in or going to be retiring) try to retain a youthful look. No one wants to age.

I believe Allergan is in the process of suing Evolus to keep the drug off the market. However, they may not win as it has been approved and there is no patent on Botox, it is just trademarked the name I believe.

If this drug catches on due to being the cheaper alternative, we are talking about at least a $5 billion USD company which would be 800% gain from here. Right now Botox contributes over $3.2 billion USD in revenue to Allergan in 2017. Allergan is a $45 billion USD business and just in 2015 Allergan had a $100 billion USD valuation.

Right now the company is going for $26 USD a share.  They have to change their business from drug exploration and development to a pharmaceutical company that has a sales force and distribution.

I have never invested in a pharmaceutical company and we will see how this develops over the next few years.

We will see where this goes but it definitely is positive for Evolus. Lets see where this goes.
