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 your individual case to ensure finasteride or dutasteride is safe and appropriate for you. They look for specific criteria, including a diagnosis of androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness). Contraindications and pre-existing conditions are carefully reviewed to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

What finasteride and dutasteride actually do (and don't do)

Finasteride and dutasteride are oral medications that work by blocking the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a hormone that causes hair follicles to shrink, leading to hair loss in genetically predisposed individuals. By reducing DHT levels, these medications can slow down hair loss and, in some cases, promote regrowth. They are not a cure for baldness, but they effectively manage and slow its progression. Realistic timelines for results typically involve several months of consistent use to see noticeable changes.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, finasteride and dutasteride can have side effects. Common side effects can include sexual dysfunction (decreased libido, erectile dysfunction). It's crucial to discuss any side effects you experience with your doctor. If you develop severe or persistent side effects, or if the treatment is not effective for you, your doctor may advise you to stop the medication.
