Who qualifies for Dutasteride

When you complete your medical questionnaire, the EU-licensed doctor reviews your case individually to determine if Dutasteride 0.5mg daily is appropriate for you. They look for specific criteria, including:

• Diagnosis of Androgenetic Alopecia: Dutasteride is primarily prescribed for male pattern baldness.
• Medical History: The doctor assesses your overall health, including any pre-existing conditions or current medications that might interact with Dutasteride.
• Absence of Contraindications: Certain conditions, such as severe liver disease, are contraindications for Dutasteride.
• Age and Gender: Dutasteride is generally prescribed for adult men. It is not approved for use in women, especially those who are pregnant or may become pregnant, due to the risk of birth defects.

The doctor prioritises your safety and aims to provide effective treatment if it aligns with your medical profile.

What Dutasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Dutasteride 0.5mg daily is a potent medication that works by inhibiting both types of 5-alpha-reductase enzymes. These enzymes are responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks hair follicles and leads to hair loss in genetically predisposed men. By significantly reducing DHT levels, Dutasteride helps to:

• Slow or stop hair loss: It protects existing hair follicles from further miniaturisation.
• Promote hair regrowth: Many users experience new hair growth, particularly in areas where hair was thinning.
• Increase hair density and thickness: Existing hairs may become thicker and stronger.

What it doesn't do: Dutasteride is not a cure for baldness, and its benefits rely on consistent, long-term use. If you stop taking it, the effects will gradually reverse, and hair loss will likely resume. Realistic timelines for results are:

• Initial Shedding (Months 1-2): Some users experience temporary shedding as weak hairs make way for new growth. This is a sign the medication is working.
• Early Improvements (Months 3-6): Decreased hair shedding and the appearance of fine, new hairs.
• Noticeable Regrowth (Months 6-12): New hairs thicken and density improves significantly.
• Continued Improvement & Maintenance (Month 12+): Optimal results are achieved and maintained with ongoing use.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Dutasteride 0.5mg daily can have side effects, though not everyone experiences them. It's important to be aware of these to make an informed decision and know when to consult your doctor. Common side effects can include:

• Decreased libido (sex drive)
• Erectile dysfunction
• Ejaculation disorders
• Breast tenderness or enlargement (gynecomastia)
• Mood changes, including depressive symptoms

Most side effects are mild and reversible upon stopping the medication. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, or notice any concerning changes, you should stop taking Dutasteride and immediately contact the doctor via your private chat in the Hi-Doctor app. They will provide guidance and assess if the treatment should be discontinued or adjusted.
