Who qualifies for Finasteride, Dutasteride, or Minoxidil

When you complete the online medical questionnaire, the EU-licensed doctor assesses several factors to determine if Finasteride, Dutasteride, or Minoxidil is appropriate for you. They look for:

• Diagnosis: Evidence of male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) for Finasteride and Dutasteride. Minoxidil can be used for various types of hair loss.
• Medical History: Absence of contraindications like liver issues, prostate cancer (for Finasteride/Dutasteride), or known allergies to the medication components.
• Current Medications: To avoid potential drug interactions.
• Patient Age and Gender: Finasteride and Dutasteride are typically prescribed for men, while Minoxidil can be used by both men and women.

The doctor ensures the treatment aligns with your overall health profile to provide a safe and effective prescription.

What Finasteride, Dutasteride, and Minoxidil actually do (and don't do)

These medications work differently to combat hair loss:

• Finasteride and Dutasteride: These 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 shrinking hair follicles in male pattern baldness. By reducing DHT levels, these medications can slow down hair loss and, in some cases, promote regrowth. Results typically appear after 3-6 months of consistent use, with full effects seen at 12 months or more. They do not treat hair loss caused by other factors like stress or nutritional deficiencies.
• Minoxidil: Available as a topical solution or foam, Minoxidil is a vasodilator that is thought to increase blood flow to the scalp and hair follicles, promoting hair growth. It can lengthen the hair growth phase and enlarge shrunken hair follicles. Results usually become noticeable after 2-4 months of daily use. Minoxidil does not affect hormone levels and is effective for various types of hair thinning in both men and women.

It's crucial to understand that these treatments require consistent use to maintain results. If you stop taking them, hair loss will likely resume.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride, Dutasteride, and Minoxidil can have side effects. It's important to be aware of them and consult a doctor if you experience any concerning symptoms.

• Finasteride and Dutasteride: Possible side effects include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculatory disorders. Less common but serious side effects can include depression or breast tenderness/enlargement. If you experience persistent or severe sexual side effects, mood changes, or breast changes, you should stop the medication and consult a doctor.
• Minoxidil: Common side effects include scalp irritation, itching, dryness, or unwanted hair growth in other areas if applied incorrectly. Rarely, more serious effects like dizziness, rapid heartbeat, or swelling of hands/feet can occur. If these occur, discontinue use and seek medical advice.

Always read the patient information leaflet provided with your medication. If side effects are bothersome or severe, contact a doctor immediately.
