4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect your medication.

Who qualifies for hair loss treatment

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually to ensure treatment safety and effectiveness. They look for specific criteria:

• Androgenetic Alopecia (Male/Female Pattern Baldness): This is the most common type of hair loss treated.
• Age: Generally, treatments like Finasteride and Dutasteride are prescribed for adult men. Minoxidil may be suitable for both men and women.
• Medical History: The doctor will review your full medical history, including any existing conditions and medications, to identify contraindications.
• Contraindications: For example, Finasteride and Dutasteride are not suitable for women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant due to potential risks. Certain liver conditions or allergies also rule out specific medications.

The doctor's review ensures you receive the safest and most effective treatment plan.

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

Effective hair loss treatments primarily work by targeting the underlying causes of androgenetic alopecia.

• Finasteride and Dutasteride: These medications work by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks hair follicles and leads to hair loss. By reducing DHT levels, they can slow down hair loss and, for many, promote regrowth of existing hair.
• Minoxidil: Available topically or orally, Minoxidil is a vasodilator that helps improve blood flow to hair follicles, stimulating them to enter the growth phase and increasing hair thickness.

Realistic expectations: These treatments aim to slow down or stop further hair loss and can promote regrowth, but they do not guarantee a full head of hair for everyone. Results typically become noticeable after 3-6 months of consistent use, with peak results often seen after 12 months. Consistency is key.

Side effects and when to stop

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

• Finasteride and Dutasteride: Some men may experience sexual side effects such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or ejaculation disorders. These are usually reversible upon discontinuing the medication. Rarely, mood changes or breast tenderness can occur.
• Minoxidil: Common side effects include scalp irritation, dryness, itching, and unwanted hair growth on other parts of the body if the topical solution is not applied carefully. Oral Minoxidil can have more systemic effects, including dizziness or changes in blood pressure.

If you experience severe or persistent side effects, or any unexpected reactions, you should contact your doctor immediately through the private chat in your Hi-Doctor account. The doctor will advise you on whether to stop the medication or adjust your treatment plan.
