Who qualifies for hair loss medication

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually to determine suitability for hair loss treatments like Finasteride or Dutasteride. Generally, they look for:

• Androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness): These medications are primarily effective for this type of hereditary hair loss.
• Age: Typically, treatments are for adult men. Finasteride and Dutasteride are not prescribed for women, especially those who are pregnant or may become pregnant, due to potential risks.
• Overall health: Your medical history, including any existing conditions or medications, will be reviewed to ensure the treatment is safe for you.
• No contraindications: The doctor will check for any conditions that would make the medication unsafe, such as liver disease or specific allergies.

What hair loss medication actually does (and doesn't do)

Medications like Finasteride and Dutasteride work by targeting the root cause of male pattern hair loss: dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a hormone that shrinks hair follicles, leading to thinning and eventual hair loss. These medications:

• Reduce DHT levels: They inhibit the enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT.
• Slow or stop hair loss: By reducing DHT, they prevent further miniaturisation of hair follicles.
• Promote regrowth: For some men, they can stimulate regrowth of hair that has recently thinned.

What they don't do:

• Guaranteed full regrowth: While effective, they don't always restore a full head of hair, especially in areas with long-standing baldness.
• Work overnight: Visible results typically take 3-6 months of consistent use, as hair growth is a slow process.
• Cure all types of hair loss: They are most effective for androgenetic alopecia and may not work for other causes like stress-related hair loss (telogen effluvium) or autoimmune conditions (alopecia areata).

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride and Dutasteride can have side effects. Most users tolerate them well, but it's important to be aware of potential issues:

• Common side effects: These are usually mild and temporary, and may include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or ejaculatory dysfunction. These typically resolve upon discontinuation of the medication.
• Less common but serious side effects: Rarely, some men report mood changes, depression, or breast tenderness/enlargement.
• When to stop: If you experience any severe or concerning side effects, or if you are considering starting a family, you should consult with your doctor immediately. The €25 online consultation allows for private, auditable chat with your doctor if you have concerns.
