Who qualifies for hair loss medication

Our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to ensure finasteride, dutasteride, or minoxidil are appropriate and safe for you. These medications are primarily prescribed for androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness). The doctor will assess your medical history, current health conditions, and any other medications you are taking to determine eligibility. For men, finasteride and dutasteride are common treatments. For women, minoxidil is often recommended, as finasteride and dutasteride are generally not prescribed to women, especially those who are pregnant or may become pregnant.

What finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil actually do (and don't do)

These medications work in different ways to combat hair loss:

• Finasteride and Dutasteride: These oral medications are 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors. They reduce the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks hair follicles in genetically susceptible individuals. By lowering DHT levels, they can slow hair loss and promote regrowth.
• Minoxidil: Available as a topical solution or spray, minoxidil works by widening blood vessels in the scalp, increasing blood flow to hair follicles. This helps to revitalize and enlarge shrunken follicles, promoting new hair growth.

It's important to understand that these treatments slow hair loss and encourage regrowth, but they don't cure baldness. Consistent use is key, and it typically takes 3-6 months to see noticeable results, with maximum benefits often observed after 6-12 months. They are most effective for preventing further loss and stimulating regrowth in areas where hair is thinning, not for growing hair on completely bald areas.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil can have side effects. It's crucial to be aware of them and discuss any concerns with your doctor.

• Finasteride and Dutasteride: Potential side effects in men include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and breast tenderness. These are generally rare and reversible upon stopping the medication.
• Minoxidil: Common side effects include scalp irritation, itching, or dryness. Unwanted hair growth on other body parts can occur if the product drips or is applied incorrectly.

Always follow your doctor's instructions. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, stop the medication and consult your doctor immediately via your private Hi-Doctor chat. Your doctor can help determine if adjusting the dosage or switching treatments is appropriate.
