Who qualifies for Finasteride

When considering Finasteride, our EU-licensed doctors look for several key criteria to ensure it's a safe and appropriate treatment for you. Finasteride is primarily prescribed for men experiencing male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). The doctor will assess your medical history, current health conditions, and any other medications you are taking. Contraindications include known hypersensitivity to Finasteride, and it's not indicated for use in women or children. The doctor's review ensures the treatment aligns with your health profile and the latest medical guidelines.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by blocking the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to hair loss in genetically predisposed men. By reducing DHT levels in the scalp, Finasteride can effectively slow down hair loss and, for many, promote the regrowth of hair. It doesn't instantly regrow hair; typical results appear after 3–6 months of consistent use, with full effects often seen after 12 months. It primarily targets the crown and mid-scalp areas. Finasteride does not cure baldness, and its effects are maintained only as long as you continue taking the medication. If you stop, hair loss typically resumes within 6–12 months.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can have side effects, though many men experience none. Common side effects, while rare, can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculatory disorders. These are usually reversible upon stopping the medication. Less common side effects can include breast tenderness or enlargement, and, rarely, depressed mood. If you experience any persistent or concerning side effects, it's crucial to stop the medication and consult with a healthcare professional. Your Hi-Doctor EU-licensed doctor can provide guidance and assess if Finasteride remains the right choice for you.
