2. An EU-licensed doctor privately reviews your case and medical history.
3. If the doctor finds treatment appropriate, you receive your REMPE electronic prescription within 24 hours.
4. Pick up your Dutasteride at any pharmacy in the EU (e.g., Spain, Italy, France, Germany).

Who qualifies for Dutasteride

Dutasteride is typically prescribed for men with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) or androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness). When reviewing your case, our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to ensure Dutasteride is safe and effective for you. This includes your medical history, current symptoms related to BPH (like frequent urination, weak stream), or the pattern and extent of your hair loss. Contraindications include known hypersensitivity to Dutasteride or other 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors. Dutasteride is not for women, especially during pregnancy, due to potential risks to a male fetus.

What Dutasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Dutasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor. It works by blocking two types of enzymes that convert testosterone into Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a key hormone involved in both prostate enlargement (BPH) and male pattern baldness. By significantly reducing DHT levels, Dutasteride helps shrink the prostate, alleviating BPH symptoms like urinary difficulties. For hair loss, it helps prevent further thinning and can promote regrowth by protecting hair follicles from DHT's effects. You typically see improvements in BPH symptoms within 3-6 months, and hair growth benefits may take 6-12 months. It does not cure BPH or hair loss, but manages them effectively with ongoing use.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Dutasteride can have side effects. Common ones include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, ejaculation disorders, and breast tenderness or enlargement (gynecomastia). Less common effects can include allergic reactions or mood changes. It's crucial to inform the reviewing doctor about any pre-existing conditions or medications you are taking. If you experience severe side effects, such as allergic reactions (e.g., rash, swelling), or persistent sexual side effects that significantly impact your quality of life, you should consult a doctor immediately. Our doctors will discuss these risks during your private consultation.
