Who qualifies for Finasteride or Dutasteride

Our EU-licensed doctors individually assess each case to determine if Finasteride or Dutasteride is an appropriate treatment for you. Generally, these medications are prescribed for adult men experiencing male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). The doctor will look for a clear diagnosis of this condition and will consider your medical history to rule out contraindications such as liver disease, prostate conditions, or allergies to the medication's components. Women, especially those pregnant or who may become pregnant, should not use these medications.

What Finasteride and Dutasteride actually do (and doesn't do)

Finasteride and Dutasteride are oral medications that work by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is the primary hormone responsible for male pattern hair loss, causing hair follicles to shrink and eventually stop producing hair. By reducing DHT levels, these medications can slow down hair loss, promote new hair growth, and thicken existing hair. They do not work for all types of hair loss, and results are typically seen after 3-6 months of consistent use, with full effects often taking 12 months or more. They are not a cure for baldness, and treatment must be continued to maintain results.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride and Dutasteride can have side effects. Common side effects include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculatory disorders. Less common but more serious side effects can include breast tenderness and enlargement, depression, and allergic reactions. If you experience persistent or severe side effects, or notice any unusual changes, you should stop taking the medication and consult a doctor immediately. Your Hi-Doctor physician will discuss potential side effects with you during your consultation.
