Who qualifies for Finasteride

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully evaluate each case to ensure Finasteride is safe and effective for you. They look for specific criteria, including:

  • Male Pattern Baldness: Finasteride is primarily for men experiencing androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness).
  • Age: Generally prescribed for men aged 18 to 65.
  • Medical History: The doctor reviews your full medical history, including any pre-existing conditions or current medications, to identify contraindications.
  • No Known Allergies: You must not have a known allergy to Finasteride or any of its components.

Important: Finasteride is not approved for use in women or children. If you have any liver conditions, prostate issues, or are taking certain medications, the doctor will assess if Finasteride is suitable.

Noticing changes in your hair?

An EU-licensed doctor can privately review your case and decide whether a hair-growth treatment is appropriate for you. Online consultation for 45 € every 90 days or 35 € one-off, reply within 24 h.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by targeting the root cause of male pattern baldness: dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Here’s how it operates:

  • Mechanism: Finasteride inhibits 5-alpha-reductase, an enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT. By lowering DHT levels in the scalp, it helps to prevent hair follicles from shrinking and promotes regrowth.
  • Expected Results: Many men experience a reduction in hair loss and, for some, new hair growth. Results are not immediate; you typically need 3–6 months of consistent use to see initial improvements. Maximum results usually appear after 12–24 months.
  • Limitations: Finasteride primarily works on the crown and mid-scalp areas, and may have less effect on a receding hairline. It cannot reverse advanced baldness or grow hair in areas where follicles are completely gone. Consistency is key; stopping treatment will likely lead to renewed hair loss.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can have side effects. While most men tolerate it well, it's important to be aware of potential issues:

  • Common Side Effects: A small percentage of men may experience sexual side effects, including decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or ejaculation disorders. These are usually reversible upon stopping the medication.
  • Less Common: Breast tenderness or enlargement (gynecomastia), rash, or depressive mood changes.
  • When to Stop: If you experience persistent or severe side effects, especially sexual dysfunction, mood changes, or allergic reactions, contact a doctor immediately. Your Hi Doctor medical team is available via your private patient account chat to address any concerns.

Medical honesty is crucial. Always discuss any side effects with a healthcare professional.
