Who qualifies for Finasteride

Finasteride is primarily prescribed for androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness) in men. Doctors assess several factors to determine if Finasteride is appropriate for your case:

• Diagnosis: You must have a confirmed diagnosis of androgenetic alopecia.
• Age: Generally prescribed for men aged 18 and above.
• Medical History: The doctor reviews your full medical history to ensure no contraindications, such as liver conditions or known allergies to Finasteride.
• Prostate Conditions: Finasteride can affect prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, so a doctor evaluates if you have existing prostate issues.

Important: Finasteride is generally not prescribed for women, especially those who are pregnant or may become pregnant, due to potential risks to a male fetus.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by blocking the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a key hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles in men with androgenetic alopecia. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride helps to:

• Slow down hair loss.
• Promote regrowth of new hair.
• Increase hair thickness.

Realistic expectations: Finasteride is effective in preventing further hair loss and promoting regrowth in many individuals, but it's not a cure. You must continue taking it to maintain the benefits. Results are not immediate; it typically takes 3–6 months to see noticeable improvements, with full effects often observed after 12 months. It does not grow hair in areas that have been completely bald for a long time.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can have side effects. While generally well-tolerated, it's important to be aware of potential issues. Common side effects, though infrequent, can include:

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

These side effects are usually reversible upon discontinuation of the medication. Less common but serious side effects include allergic reactions, depression, and, rarely, male breast cancer. You should stop taking Finasteride and consult a doctor immediately if you experience:

• Severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling of the face/lips/tongue).
• Changes in breast tissue, such as lumps, pain, or nipple discharge.
• Persistent changes in mood, including depression.

Always discuss any concerns with your EU-licensed doctor through the Hi-Doctor platform.
