The Benefits of a Hair Loss Treatment Subscription

Looking for a hair loss treatment prescription online in Spain, or anywhere else in the EU? You've come to the right place. Hi-Doctor makes it easy to get the hair loss treatment you need through a licensed EU doctor, without the hassle of clinic visits. For just €25, you can complete an online consultation and, if appropriate, receive a valid prescription in under 24 hours. This prescription is accepted at any pharmacy across the EU, so you can pick up your medication conveniently, wherever you are.

How it works — get your hair loss treatment prescription in 4 steps

1. Fill out a brief online medical questionnaire (takes 2–3 minutes) and pay the €25 consultation fee.
2. An EU-licensed doctor reviews your case individually and in private. If the doctor determines the hair loss treatment is NOT appropriate for you, your €25 fee is refunded automatically – no risk, you pay nothing.
3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (a downloadable PDF file) in your secure Hi-Doctor account and by email, typically within 24 hours.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone – present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect your hair loss medication.

Who qualifies for hair loss treatment

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each patient individually to determine suitability for hair loss treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, or dutasteride. They look for specific criteria, including the type and severity of hair loss (e.g., androgenetic alopecia), your general health, and any existing medical conditions or medications you are taking. The doctor considers potential contraindications to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for you. You will be asked about your medical history and current health status during the online questionnaire.

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

Hair loss treatments primarily work by either stimulating hair follicles directly (like minoxidil) or by blocking hormones that contribute to hair loss (like finasteride and dutasteride, which target DHT). These medications aim to slow down or stop hair loss, and in many cases, promote new hair growth. It's important to understand that results are not immediate; typically, you will see initial reductions in shedding within 1-2 months, and noticeable improvements in density and thickness generally appear after 3-6 months. Maximum results often take 6-12 months. Hair loss treatments do not cure the underlying cause of genetic hair loss, meaning consistent use is required to maintain benefits. If you stop treatment, hair loss will likely resume.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, hair loss treatments can have side effects. For topical minoxidil, common side effects include scalp irritation, dryness, or unwanted hair growth in other areas. Oral medications like finasteride and dutasteride can, in rare cases, cause sexual side effects such as decreased libido or erectile dysfunction, which are often reversible upon stopping the medication. If you experience any severe or concerning side effects, or a persistent allergic reaction (e.g., rash, itching, swelling), you should stop the treatment immediately and consult a doctor. Your Hi-Doctor physician will discuss potential side effects with you during the consultation process and provide guidance on when to seek further medical advice.
