Who qualifies for Finasteride

Finasteride is primarily prescribed for male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). When you consult with an EU-licensed doctor through Hi-Doctor, they look for specific criteria to ensure Finasteride is safe and appropriate for you. This includes your medical history, current medications, and the pattern and extent of your hair loss. Finasteride is generally not recommended for women, especially those who are pregnant or may become pregnant, due to potential risks. The doctor will assess if you have any contraindications or conditions that might make Finasteride unsuitable.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride is an oral medication that works by blocking the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. This enzyme converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks hair follicles in genetically susceptible men, leading to hair loss. By reducing DHT levels in the scalp, Finasteride helps to slow down or stop hair loss and can even promote new hair growth. It's important to understand that Finasteride works best for preventing further hair loss and regrowing hair on the crown and mid-scalp. It does not typically regrow hair on a completely bald scalp. You need consistent use for several months to see results, with noticeable improvements often appearing after 3-6 months. Finasteride does not cure baldness; its effects are maintained only as long as you continue treatment.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can cause side effects. Common side effects can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculation disorders. Less common but serious side effects can include depression, anxiety, and, rarely, male breast cancer. If you experience persistent sexual side effects, mood changes, or any concerning symptoms, you should stop taking Finasteride and consult with your doctor immediately. The EU-licensed doctor reviewing your case will discuss these potential side effects with you and ensure you understand the risks and benefits before issuing a prescription.
