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 to collect the medication.

Who qualifies for hair loss treatment

Our EU-licensed doctors review your case to determine if treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, or Dutasteride are appropriate for you. They will look for:

• Your specific hair loss pattern: Androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness) is the most common condition treated.
• Your medical history: Certain pre-existing conditions or medications may contraindicate the use of specific hair loss treatments.
• Your current stage of hair loss: While early intervention is often most effective, advanced stages can also be managed with appropriate strategies.
• Absence of contraindications: For example, Finasteride and Dutasteride are generally not prescribed for women of childbearing potential due to potential risks.

The doctor's assessment ensures your safety and the effectiveness of the prescribed treatment.

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

Hair loss treatments primarily work by targeting the underlying causes of hair thinning and loss. Medications like Finasteride and Dutasteride block the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks hair follicles in genetically predisposed individuals. Minoxidil, on the other hand, is thought to stimulate hair follicles and prolong the growth phase of hair.

• What they do: Slow down hair loss, promote regrowth of finer hairs, and improve hair density.
• What they don't do: Instantly regrow a full head of hair. Results are gradual and typically take 3-6 months of consistent use to become noticeable. They also don't cure the underlying genetic predisposition to hair loss, meaning continued use is often necessary to maintain results.

Side effects and when to stop

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

• Common side effects of Finasteride/Dutasteride: May include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or ejaculatory disorders. These are often reversible upon stopping the medication.
• Common side effects of Minoxidil: Can include scalp irritation, itching, or unwanted hair growth on other parts of the body if applied incorrectly.

You should stop treatment and contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe allergic reactions, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, or significant changes in mood. Your Hi-Doctor account provides a private, RGPD-compliant chat for direct communication with your doctor.
