How it works — get your Finasteride prescription in 4 steps

1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes).

4. Pick up your medication at any EU pharmacy.

Who qualifies for Finasteride

When you complete your medical questionnaire, an EU-licensed doctor assesses your individual health profile. They look for specific criteria to ensure Finasteride is safe and effective for you. Generally, Finasteride is prescribed for men experiencing male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia).

Key factors the doctor considers include:

• Your age: Finasteride is typically prescribed for adult men.
• Type of hair loss: It is effective for male pattern baldness, not other forms of alopecia.
• Medical history: The doctor reviews any pre-existing conditions and current medications you are taking to identify potential contraindications or interactions.
• Allergies: Any known allergies to Finasteride or similar medications.

The doctor will determine if Finasteride is the right treatment for your specific situation. This ensures your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride is an oral medication that works by targeting the root cause of male pattern baldness: dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Finasteride inhibits an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone into DHT. By reducing DHT levels in your scalp, Finasteride helps to:

• Slow down or stop further hair loss.
• Promote hair regrowth in some areas.
• Increase hair thickness and density.

It is important to have realistic expectations. Finasteride does not cure baldness overnight. You typically need to take it consistently for at least 3-6 months to see noticeable results, and full effects may take 12 months or more. It is most effective in preventing further hair loss and can lead to regrowth for many, but individual results vary. Finasteride is not a solution for all types of hair loss, only for androgenetic alopecia.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can have side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Most side effects are mild and temporary. Common side effects can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculation disorders. Less common side effects may include breast tenderness or enlargement, rash, and in rare cases, depression or allergic reactions.

It is crucial to discuss any concerns with your doctor. If you experience severe side effects, such as a lump in your breast, nipple discharge, or significant mood changes, you should stop taking Finasteride and consult a doctor immediately. Your Hi-Doctor physician is available via secure chat in your account to discuss any issues.
