Who qualifies for Finasteride

Finasteride is a prescription medication primarily for men experiencing male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). Our EU-licensed doctors look for several factors when reviewing your case:

• Diagnosis of male pattern hair loss: Finasteride is effective for this specific type of hair loss.
• Age: Generally prescribed for men aged 18 and older.
• Medical history: The doctor will assess any pre-existing conditions or medications that might contraindicate Finasteride use.
• No known allergies to Finasteride or its components.

Finasteride is generally not prescribed for women, especially those who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, due to potential risks. The doctor will ensure your case aligns with established medical guidelines for safe and effective treatment.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by targeting the root cause of male pattern hair loss. It inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a hormone that shrinks hair follicles, leading to thinning and eventual hair loss in genetically susceptible men. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride helps to:

• Slow down further hair loss.
• Promote regrowth of new hair, often finer at first.
• Thicken existing hair strands.

It's important to understand that Finasteride does not cure hair loss permanently. It manages the condition, and continuous use is required to maintain results. Results are not immediate; typically, patients see noticeable improvements after 3-6 months of consistent use, with full effects often visible after 12 months. It also does not work for all types of hair loss.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can have side effects, though most men tolerate it well. Common side effects, typically mild and reversible, can include:

• Decreased libido.
• Erectile dysfunction.
• Ejaculation disorder.
• Breast tenderness or enlargement (gynecomastia).

Less common but more serious side effects can occur. You should stop Finasteride and consult a doctor immediately if you experience:

• Allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling of the lips or face).
• Depression or changes in mood.
• Lumps, pain, or nipple discharge in the breast area.

Always discuss any concerns with your Hi-Doctor EU-licensed doctor during your consultation or via the private chat in your account.
