4. Pick up your medication at any EU pharmacy – whether in Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Germany, or elsewhere.

Who qualifies for Finasteride

Finasteride is primarily prescribed for androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) in men. During your online consultation, our EU-licensed doctor assesses several factors to determine if Finasteride is appropriate for you. They will review your medical history, current medications, and specific symptoms. Key considerations include:

• Diagnosis of Androgenetic Alopecia: Finasteride targets male pattern baldness.
• Age: It is generally prescribed for adult men.
• Overall Health: The doctor ensures no underlying health conditions or medications interact negatively with Finasteride.
• Contraindications: Finasteride is not typically prescribed for women, especially those who are pregnant or may become pregnant, due to potential risks.

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

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by targeting the root cause of male pattern baldness. It inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a hormone that shrinks hair follicles and leads to hair loss in genetically predisposed men.

By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride helps to:

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

It's important to have realistic expectations. Finasteride is not a cure for baldness, and results vary. Most men see improvements after 3–6 months of consistent use, with full effects often visible after 12 months. Continued use is necessary to maintain results; if you stop taking Finasteride, hair loss will likely resume.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can have side effects. While many men tolerate it well, it's crucial to be aware of potential reactions. Common side effects, though rare, can include:

• Decreased libido.
• Erectile dysfunction.
• Ejaculation disorders.
• Breast tenderness or enlargement.
• Depressed mood.

Less common but more serious side effects may include allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling) or persistent sexual side effects even after stopping the medication. If you experience any severe or concerning side effects, especially persistent sexual dysfunction or changes in mood, you should stop taking Finasteride and consult with a doctor immediately. Our EU-licensed doctors will discuss these potential side effects with you during your consultation and monitor your treatment.
