Who qualifies for Finasteride

Finasteride is primarily prescribed for male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). When you consult with an EU-licensed doctor via Hi-Doctor.ai, they will look for specific criteria to determine if Finasteride is appropriate for your case. This includes a clear diagnosis of male pattern baldness, assessment of your overall health, and a review of any existing medical conditions or medications that might contraindicate Finasteride use. The doctor will ensure there are no red flags, such as liver issues or certain prostate conditions, before issuing a prescription.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by blocking the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles in men with genetic hair loss. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride helps to slow down or stop hair loss and can even stimulate new hair growth. You won't see instant results; typically, it takes 3-6 months to notice a reduction in hair loss and 9-12 months for significant hair regrowth. Finasteride is most effective for hair loss on the crown and mid-scalp, but it may not be as effective for receding hairlines. It does not cure baldness, and you must continue taking it to maintain its effects.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can have side effects, though most men tolerate it well. Common side effects can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculatory disorders. Less common but more serious side effects can involve breast tenderness or enlargement, depression, or allergic reactions. If you experience persistent or concerning side effects, you should stop taking Finasteride and consult with a doctor. Your Hi-Doctor.ai physician can advise you on managing side effects or discontinuing treatment.
