Who qualifies for Finasteride

Our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to ensure Finasteride is safe and effective for you. Generally, Finasteride is prescribed for adult men experiencing male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). The doctor will assess your medical history, current medications, and any pre-existing conditions. Contraindications include known hypersensitivity to Finasteride, and it is not suitable for women or children. The doctor will confirm if Finasteride is the right treatment path for your specific situation.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by inhibiting 5-alpha-reductase, an enzyme that converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a key hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles in male pattern baldness. By lowering DHT levels in the scalp, Finasteride helps to stop hair loss and, in many cases, promotes new hair growth. It's important to understand that Finasteride is not a cure for baldness; it manages the condition. Consistent daily use is necessary to maintain results. You can typically expect to see noticeable improvements after 3–6 months of treatment, with full effects often observed after 12 months.

Side effects and when to stop

While Finasteride is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects. Common, though rare, side effects can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculatory disorders. Less common side effects reported are mood changes, including depression and anxiety, and breast tenderness or enlargement (gynecomastia). If you experience persistent or concerning side effects, especially severe mood changes or sexual dysfunction, it is crucial to consult a doctor. Our doctors provide a private, RGPD-compliant chat in your account for any questions or concerns. In some cases, discontinuing the medication may be advised by your doctor.
