Who qualifies for Finasteride

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully review each case to determine if finasteride is appropriate for you. They look for specific criteria, ensuring your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment:

• Male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). Finasteride is primarily prescribed for this condition.
• Age. Typically prescribed for men aged 18 and over.
• No contraindications. Doctors will assess your medical history for conditions like liver disease, prostate conditions, or allergies to finasteride.
• No current use of conflicting medications. They ensure there are no drug interactions.

The doctor's decision is based on a thorough review of your medical questionnaire to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride is an oral medication that works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a potent androgen that shrinks hair follicles in genetically susceptible individuals, leading to male pattern baldness.

• Does: Finasteride lowers DHT levels in the scalp, which helps to stop hair loss and, in many cases, promote new hair growth. It is most effective at preventing further hair loss and can lead to thicker, fuller hair over time.
• Doesn't Do: It doesn't cure baldness instantly. Results are not immediate; it typically takes 3-6 months to see noticeable improvements, and up to 12 months for full effects. It also doesn't work for all types of hair loss, only androgenetic alopecia. Consistency is vital for maintaining results.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, finasteride can have side effects, though most people tolerate it well. Common side effects can include:

• Decreased libido
• Erectile dysfunction
• Ejaculation disorders
• Breast tenderness or enlargement (gynecomastia)

Less common but more serious side effects may include allergic reactions, depression, or persistent sexual side effects even after stopping the medication. You should stop taking finasteride and consult a doctor immediately if you experience:

• Signs of an allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue)
• Lumps, pain, or nipple discharge in the breast area
• Significant mood changes or symptoms of depression

Our EU-licensed doctors discuss potential side effects during your online consultation and are available for follow-up questions within your private Hi-Doctor account.
