Hair Loss Treatment Diet: The Role of Nutrition in Hair Growth

Are you searching for a Hair Loss treatment prescription online in Spain, or another EU country?

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

3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (PDF file) 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 (e.g., Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium) to collect your medication.

Who qualifies for hair loss treatment medication

Our EU-licensed doctors individually review each patient's case to ensure treatment is safe and effective. They look for specific criteria, including your hair loss pattern, medical history, and current health status. Generally, medications like Finasteride and Dutasteride are prescribed for male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). Contraindications include certain liver conditions, prostate cancer, and for women, pregnancy or potential pregnancy (Finasteride and Dutasteride are not for use in women, especially those of childbearing potential). The doctor will assess your eligibility based on the information you provide in the medical questionnaire.

What hair loss medication actually does (and doesn't do)

Hair loss medications like Finasteride and Dutasteride work by targeting the root cause of male pattern baldness: dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Finasteride 1mg and Dutasteride inhibit the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into DHT. By reducing DHT levels, these medications can slow down hair loss, prevent further miniaturization of hair follicles, and in many cases, stimulate regrowth. Minoxidil, another common treatment, works by widening blood vessels and increasing blood flow to the scalp, promoting hair growth. Realistic timelines for results typically involve consistent use for 3-6 months before noticeable improvements appear, with full effects often seen after 12 months. These medications are effective for male pattern baldness but may not be suitable for other types of hair loss.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride and Dutasteride can cause side effects. Common, though usually mild, side effects include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculatory disorders. These are often reversible upon stopping the medication. More rarely, some men report mood changes or breast tenderness. It is crucial to read the patient information leaflet provided with your medication. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, or if you have any concerns, you should stop the medication and consult a doctor immediately. Our doctors provide private, RGPD-compliant chat inside your Hi-Doctor account for any follow-up questions.
