Who qualifies for Finasteride

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each patient individually to determine if Finasteride is the right treatment for you. They look for specific criteria, ensuring your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment. Generally, Finasteride is prescribed for male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) in men. The doctor will consider your medical history, current health status, and any other medications you are taking. Contraindications, such as liver conditions or certain allergies, will be carefully evaluated. The doctor acts as your gatekeeper, ensuring Finasteride is appropriate for your specific situation.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride is an oral medication that works by blocking the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a hormone that plays a key role in male pattern baldness, causing hair follicles to shrink and eventually stop producing hair. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride can slow down or stop hair loss and, for many, promote hair regrowth. It doesn't instantly grow new hair; rather, it works over time by protecting existing follicles and allowing them to recover. Realistic timelines mean you typically see a stabilization of hair loss within 3-6 months, with noticeable hair regrowth often appearing after 6-12 months of consistent use. Finasteride is most effective for hair loss at the crown and in the middle of the scalp, but it may not be as effective for receding hairlines.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can have side effects. Typical side effects, though generally rare, can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and, in very rare cases, mood changes such as depression. These side effects are usually reversible if you stop taking the medication. It's crucial to discuss any concerns with the Hi-Doctor.ai medical team. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, you should stop taking Finasteride and consult with a healthcare professional immediately. Your doctor will provide clear guidance on what to watch for.
