Who qualifies for Finasteride, Minoxidil, or Dutasteride

Our EU-licensed doctors individually review each case to ensure the chosen treatment is safe and appropriate for you. They assess your medical history, current health status, and the pattern and extent of your hair loss. Generally, candidates for these medications are adults experiencing male or female pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia).

For Finasteride and Dutasteride, contraindications include women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, and individuals with certain liver conditions. Minoxidil is generally safe for most adults, but doctors will check for scalp conditions or allergies. The doctor will determine if these medications are suitable for your specific situation.

What Finasteride, Minoxidil, and Dutasteride actually do (and don't do)

These medications target different aspects of hair loss:

• Finasteride: This oral medication works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a primary hormone responsible for male pattern baldness. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride can slow hair loss and promote regrowth, particularly on the crown and mid-scalp. Results typically appear after 3-6 months of consistent use.
• Dutasteride: Similar to Finasteride but more potent, Dutasteride inhibits both types of 5-alpha reductase enzymes, leading to a greater reduction in DHT. It is often considered when Finasteride is not sufficiently effective. Like Finasteride, it requires consistent use for results, which may become noticeable after 6 months.
• Minoxidil: Available as a topical solution or oral tablet, Minoxidil is a vasodilator that is believed to stimulate hair follicles, prolong the growth phase of hair, and increase blood flow to the scalp. It can be effective for both men and women, promoting thicker hair and reducing shedding. Visible results often begin after 2-4 months of consistent application or use.

None of these medications offer an instant cure; they require consistent, long-term use to maintain results. They primarily work to prevent further hair loss and stimulate existing follicles, rather than creating new ones.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride, Minoxidil, and Dutasteride can have side effects. It's crucial to be aware of these and discuss them with your doctor.

• Finasteride & Dutasteride: Potential side effects are rare but can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and breast tenderness. These are usually reversible upon discontinuation.
• Minoxidil: Common side effects include scalp irritation, itching, and unwanted hair growth on other parts of the body if the topical solution is not applied carefully. Oral Minoxidil can have systemic effects, which your doctor will discuss.

If you experience any severe or concerning side effects, stop the medication and consult your doctor immediately. Your Hi-Doctor account provides a private, RGPD-compliant chat for direct communication with your doctor.
