Who qualifies for Finasteride
Our EU-licensed doctors assess each patient individually to determine if Finasteride is a safe and appropriate treatment for hair loss. Generally, Finasteride is prescribed for men experiencing male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). The doctor will review your medical history, current health status, and any existing conditions or medications. Contraindications or specific health concerns might mean Finasteride is not suitable for you. The doctor always prioritises your safety and well-being.
What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)
Finasteride is a medication that targets the underlying cause of male pattern baldness. It works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is the hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles, leading to thinning hair and eventual hair loss. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride can slow down hair loss and, for many men, promote hair regrowth.
It's important to have realistic expectations. Finasteride does not cure baldness and results are not instantaneous. You typically need to take it consistently for several months (often 3-6 months) before you see noticeable improvements. Continued use is usually necessary to maintain the benefits. It doesn't work for all types of hair loss, only male pattern baldness.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, Finasteride can have side effects, though many men experience none or only mild ones. Common side effects can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or other sexual side effects. These are usually reversible upon stopping the medication. Less common side effects might include breast tenderness or enlargement. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, or if you have concerns, it's crucial to consult with your doctor immediately. They can advise you on whether to adjust your dosage or stop treatment.
