Hair Loss Treatment Help: Getting Started Today

Looking for a Finasteride prescription online in the EU? You can get Finasteride through an EU-licensed doctor without an in-person clinic visit.

If treatment is appropriate, you receive a valid electronic prescription in under 24 hours, ready to be filled at any EU pharmacy.

How it works: get your Finasteride prescription in 4 steps

  1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes). Provide your medical history and current symptoms through our secure platform.
  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. Our doctors assess your information carefully to determine if Finasteride is suitable for you.
  3. If appropriate, you receive a valid electronic prescription within 24 hours. Your prescription is delivered to your private account and by email, valid across the EU.
  4. Pick up your medication at any EU pharmacy. Take your electronic prescription to any pharmacy in Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Germany, or any other EU country.

Who qualifies for Finasteride

Finasteride is primarily prescribed for men experiencing male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). When reviewing your case, the doctor looks for specific criteria:

  • Diagnosis of male pattern baldness: Finasteride is effective for this specific type of hair loss.
  • Age: Generally prescribed for adult men.
  • Overall health: The doctor assesses your medical history to ensure no contraindications exist.
  • No severe liver problems: Finasteride is metabolised in the liver, so healthy liver function is important.
  • Not for women, especially pregnant women: Finasteride is contraindicated for women, particularly those who are pregnant or may become pregnant, due to potential risks to a male fetus.

Every case is reviewed individually by an EU-licensed doctor to ensure Finasteride is safe and appropriate for your specific health profile.

Noticing changes in your hair?

An EU-licensed doctor can privately review your case and decide whether a hair-growth treatment is appropriate for you. Online consultation for 45 € every 90 days or 35 € one-off, reply within 24 h.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by blocking the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks hair follicles in genetically susceptible men. By lowering DHT levels in the scalp, Finasteride helps to:

  • Slow down hair loss: It can halt the progression of male pattern baldness.
  • Promote hair regrowth: In some cases, it can lead to the regrowth of hair, particularly on the crown.
  • Improve hair thickness: Existing hair may become thicker and stronger.

Realistic timelines are important. You typically need to take Finasteride daily for at least 3 to 6 months before noticing any significant changes. Maximum results are usually seen after 12 to 24 months of consistent use. It's crucial to understand that Finasteride primarily maintains existing hair and slows further loss. While some regrowth is possible, it is not guaranteed for everyone.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can cause side effects, though they are generally uncommon and mild. Typical side effects may include:

These side effects are usually reversible if you stop taking the medication. Red flags that warrant immediate consultation with your doctor include:

  • Any changes in breast tissue, such as lumps, pain, or nipple discharge.
  • Severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, trouble breathing).
  • Persistent or worsening sexual side effects.

Always discuss any concerns with your Hi Doctor physician within your private chat. They provide guidance on when to stop or adjust your treatment.
