Who qualifies for Finasteride
Our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to determine if Finasteride is appropriate for you. Finasteride is primarily prescribed for androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness) in men. It is not typically prescribed for women. The doctor considers your medical history, current health status, and the nature of your hair loss. Contraindications include known hypersensitivity to Finasteride, and it's generally not recommended for individuals under 18 years of age. During your online consultation, be honest and thorough in your medical questionnaire to help the doctor assess your eligibility accurately.
What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)
Finasteride works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to the miniaturization of hair follicles in genetically susceptible men. By lowering DHT levels in the scalp, Finasteride can help to slow down hair loss and, in some cases, promote new hair growth. It's important to have realistic expectations: Finasteride does not cure baldness, and results are not immediate. Most patients need to use it consistently for 3-6 months to see initial improvements, with full effects often taking 12 months or more. It is most effective at preventing further hair loss and can lead to thicker, fuller hair, but it won't regrow hair in areas that have been completely bald for a long time.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, Finasteride can cause side effects, though most men tolerate it well. Common side effects can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculatory disorders. Less common but more serious side effects can involve mood changes, depression, or breast tenderness/enlargement. If you experience any concerning side effects, especially persistent sexual side effects or changes in mood, you should stop taking Finasteride and consult with a doctor immediately. Medical honesty is paramount; our doctors will discuss these risks with you during the assessment. Remember, if the doctor finds treatment appropriate, they will also advise you on monitoring for side effects.
