How it works — get your hair loss medication prescription in 4 steps

1. Fill out a short online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the €25 online consultation fee.
2. An EU-licensed doctor reviews your medical history and specific case in private. If the doctor determines the treatment is not appropriate for you, your €25 fee is refunded automatically — you pay nothing.
3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (PDF file) directly in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU (Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Ireland, etc.) to collect your medication.

Who qualifies for Finasteride, Dutasteride, or Minoxidil

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully assess each patient to ensure the chosen hair loss treatment is safe and effective. Here’s what they typically look for:

• Diagnosis of Androgenetic Alopecia (Male Pattern Baldness): Finasteride and Dutasteride are primarily prescribed for this condition. Minoxidil can be used for various types of hair loss.
• Age: Generally, these treatments are for adult men. Finasteride and Dutasteride are not typically prescribed for women, especially those who are pregnant or may become pregnant.
• Medical History: The doctor will review your overall health, existing medical conditions, and any current medications to identify potential contraindications or interactions.
• No Prior Allergic Reactions: You should not have a history of allergic reactions to Finasteride, Dutasteride, Minoxidil, or any of their components.
• Realistic Expectations: The doctor ensures you understand the realistic benefits and limitations of the treatment.

The doctor will determine if Finasteride, Dutasteride, or Minoxidil is appropriate for your specific situation after reviewing your medical questionnaire.

What these hair loss medications actually do (and don't do)

Understanding how Finasteride, Dutasteride, and Minoxidil work helps set realistic expectations for your hair loss treatment journey.

• Finasteride (commonly 1mg) and Dutasteride (commonly 0.5mg): These are oral medications that target the root cause of male pattern baldness by inhibiting the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a hormone that shrinks hair follicles, leading to hair thinning and loss. By reducing DHT, these medications can slow down or stop hair loss and, in some cases, promote new hair growth. Results typically appear after 3-6 months of consistent use, with full effects seen at 12 months or more. They do not work for all types of hair loss, only those linked to DHT.
• Minoxidil (topical solution): This is a topical treatment that stimulates hair growth by increasing blood flow to the hair follicles and prolonging the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle. It can be used for various types of hair loss, including male and female pattern baldness. Minoxidil does not affect hormone levels. Consistent twice-daily application is crucial, and visible results usually take 3-6 months. It doesn't cure hair loss but helps maintain and improve hair density while in use.

None of these medications offer an instant fix. Consistency and patience are key, and results vary from person to person. They also do not prevent hair loss caused by other factors like stress, nutritional deficiencies, or autoimmune conditions.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride, Dutasteride, and Minoxidil can have side effects. It's important to be aware of these and discuss any concerns with your doctor.

• Finasteride and Dutasteride: Potential side effects are generally mild and uncommon but can include sexual dysfunction (e.g., decreased libido, erectile dysfunction), ejaculatory disorders, and breast tenderness or enlargement. These usually resolve after stopping the medication. Rarely, more serious side effects can occur.
• Minoxidil: Common side effects are typically localized to the scalp and can include itching, irritation, dryness, flaking, or unwanted hair growth in adjacent areas (e.g., forehead). Initial shedding of hair is a normal part of the process and usually temporary.

When to stop: You should stop taking the medication and consult your doctor immediately if you experience severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing), chest pain, rapid heartbeat, or any other concerning or persistent side effects. Your Hi-Doctor physician will provide detailed information and guidance on monitoring side effects and when to seek medical advice.
