Who qualifies for Finasteride

Our EU-licensed doctors review each case individually. 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). Doctors assess your medical history, current health conditions, and any other medications you are taking to determine suitability. Finasteride is not typically prescribed for women or children.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks hair follicles and leads to hair loss in genetically susceptible men. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride helps to slow down hair loss and, in many cases, promotes new hair growth. It's important to understand that Finasteride does not cure baldness, nor does it work instantly. You typically need to take it consistently for 3-6 months to see initial results, with maximum benefits often appearing after 1-2 years. It works best for slowing hair loss and encouraging regrowth on the crown and mid-scalp, but it may have less impact on a receding hairline.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can have side effects, though most men tolerate it well. Common side effects can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculatory disorders. Less common but more serious side effects include allergic reactions, breast tenderness or enlargement, and depression. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, or notice any red flags such as changes in mood or breast lumps, you should stop taking Finasteride and consult a doctor immediately. Always discuss any concerns with the reviewing doctor during your online consultation.
