How it works — get your Finasteride prescription in 4 steps

1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes).

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

When considering Finasteride for hair loss, an EU-licensed doctor evaluates several factors. Finasteride is primarily prescribed for male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). The doctor looks for:

• A clear diagnosis of male pattern hair loss.
• No contraindications, such as liver conditions or certain medication interactions.
• No history of hypersensitivity to Finasteride.
• The patient's age and overall health status.

Important: Finasteride is not suitable for women or children. The doctor ensures Finasteride is safe and appropriate for your specific health profile before issuing a prescription.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by targeting the root cause of male pattern hair loss. It inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is the hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles and causing hair thinning and loss.

• What it does: Reduces DHT levels in the scalp, slows down or stops hair loss, and can promote regrowth in some areas.
• What it doesn't do: Finasteride is not a miracle cure for all types of hair loss. It won't regrow hair on completely bald areas, and consistent use is required to maintain results. You typically see initial results within 3-6 months, with full effects taking 12 months or more.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can have side effects, though most men tolerate it well. Common, but rare, side effects can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or ejaculatory disorders. These are usually reversible upon stopping the medication. If you experience any persistent or concerning side effects, you should stop taking Finasteride and consult with a doctor immediately. During your online consultation, your Hi-Doctor.ai physician will discuss potential side effects in detail and answer all your questions.
