Hair Loss After Menopause: Understanding Causes and Solutions

How it works: get your Finasteride prescription in 4 steps

  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. Our doctors are EU-licensed and specialized in telemedicine. They carefully evaluate your questionnaire, ensuring your safety and suitability for treatment.
  3. If appropriate, you receive a valid electronic prescription within 24 hours. If the doctor finds Finasteride suitable for you, your prescription is issued and delivered securely to your private account and email.
  4. Pick up your medication at any EU pharmacy. Your valid electronic prescription is universally accepted across the European Union. Simply take it to your preferred pharmacy.

Who qualifies for Finasteride

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully assess each patient to determine if Finasteride is appropriate. They look for specific criteria, ensuring your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment. Generally, Finasteride is considered for women experiencing pattern hair loss after menopause. It's crucial to disclose your full medical history, including any existing conditions or medications you are taking. Finasteride is not prescribed if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, due to potential risks. The doctor evaluates your individual case to ensure no contraindications exist.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a primary cause of hair follicle miniaturisation in androgenetic alopecia. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride helps to slow down hair loss and, in some cases, can stimulate new hair growth. You should expect to see initial results within 3-6 months of consistent use, with full effects potentially taking up to 12 months. It's important to understand that Finasteride helps manage hair loss; it does not cure it, and continued use is necessary to maintain results. It primarily targets pattern hair loss and may not be effective for other causes of hair thinning.

Noticing changes in your hair?

An EU-licensed doctor can privately review your case and decide whether a hair-growth treatment is appropriate for you. Online consultation for 45 € every 90 days or 35 € one-off, reply within 24 h.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can have side effects. While generally well-tolerated, some women may experience reduced libido, breast tenderness, or mood changes. These side effects are usually mild and may resolve with continued use. However, if you experience any severe or persistent side effects, such as allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling) or significant mood disturbances, you should stop taking Finasteride immediately and seek medical attention. Always discuss any concerns with your doctor, who can advise on the best course of action.
