Who qualifies for hair loss treatments like Finasteride or Dutasteride
Our EU-licensed doctors individually review each case. They look for specific criteria to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for you. Generally, these medications are prescribed for male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). The doctor will assess your medical history, current health conditions, and the pattern of your hair loss. Contraindications might include certain liver conditions, prostate issues, or allergies to the medication's components. Women, especially those who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, are typically not prescribed Finasteride or Dutasteride due to potential risks.
What hair loss medications actually do (and don't do)
Medications like Finasteride and Dutasteride primarily work by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks hair follicles in genetically predisposed men. By reducing DHT levels, these medications can slow down hair loss and, in some cases, promote new hair growth. Minoxidil, another common treatment, works by increasing blood flow to the scalp and stimulating hair follicles. Results are not instant; it typically takes 3-6 months to see noticeable improvements, and consistent use is necessary to maintain results. These treatments do not cure baldness and will not restore hair to areas that have been bald for a long time.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, Finasteride and Dutasteride can have side effects, though they are generally well-tolerated. Common side effects can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculation disorders. Less common but more serious side effects can include allergic reactions or mood changes. It's crucial to discuss any concerns with your doctor. If you experience severe side effects or notice any red flags like breast tenderness or lumps, you should stop the medication and seek immediate medical attention. Our doctors provide clear guidance on what to watch for.
