How it works — get your Finasteride prescription in 4 steps

3. If appropriate, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription within 24 hours.
4. Pick up your medication at any EU pharmacy.

Who qualifies for Finasteride

Your EU-licensed doctor will carefully review your medical history to ensure Finasteride is safe and effective for you. They look for specific criteria and potential contraindications. Be prepared to discuss:

• Your Medical History: Any existing conditions like prostate issues (Finasteride is also used for BPH), liver disease, or known allergies.
• Current Medications: A complete list of all prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, and supplements you are taking. Some medications can interact with Finasteride.
• Family History: Information about hair loss or prostate cancer in your family helps assess your risk factors.
• Hair Loss Progression: When it started, how quickly it's progressed, affected areas, and any previous treatments you've tried.

The doctor's priority is your safety and health. They will only issue a Finasteride prescription if they find it appropriate for your specific case.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride is a medication that treats male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) by blocking the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a hormone that causes hair follicles to shrink, leading to hair loss. By reducing DHT, Finasteride can slow down hair loss and, in many cases, promote new hair growth.

It's important to have realistic expectations. Finasteride does not cure baldness and won't give you a full head of hair overnight. Most men see results within 3-6 months, and consistent use is key to maintaining benefits. It primarily works to prevent further hair loss and can stimulate regrowth in areas where hair has thinned, but not necessarily where it's completely gone.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can cause side effects. Your doctor will discuss these with you during your online consultation. Common side effects can include:

• Sexual Dysfunction: Decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or ejaculation problems.
• Mood Changes: Some patients report depression or anxiety.
• Breast Tenderness/Enlargement: Less common, but possible.
• PSA Levels: Finasteride can lower Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) levels, which may affect prostate cancer screening results.

If you experience any concerning or severe side effects, you should stop taking Finasteride and consult your doctor immediately. Your private chat with the doctor in the Hi-Doctor app is always available for follow-up questions.
