How it works: get your hair loss medication prescription in 4 steps

  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor decides the treatment is not appropriate, your payment is refunded automatically, so there is no risk.
  3. If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
  4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone and present it at a pharmacy to collect the medication; the pharmacist reviews it and decides whether it can dispense it.

Who qualifies for hair loss medication

Our EU-licensed doctors review each case individually to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of treatment. They look for specific criteria:

  • Androgenetic Alopecia (Male/Female Pattern Baldness): The most common type of hair loss treated with medications like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil.
  • General Health: You must be in good overall health with no contraindications to the medication.
  • Age: Typically, these treatments are for adults.
  • Medical History: The doctor will assess your full medical history, including any existing conditions or other medications you are taking, to ensure there are no interactions or risks. For example, finasteride and dutasteride are generally not prescribed to women of childbearing potential.

The doctor's assessment ensures that the prescribed medication is safe and appropriate for your specific situation.

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

Hair loss medications work by targeting different aspects of hair growth and loss:

  • Minoxidil: This topical or oral medication is a vasodilator, meaning it widens blood vessels. It helps to increase blood flow to hair follicles, which can stimulate hair growth and prolong the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle. It's effective for both male and female pattern baldness.
  • Finasteride and Dutasteride: These are oral medications that work by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a hormone that shrinks hair follicles in genetically susceptible individuals, leading to hair loss. By reducing DHT levels, finasteride and dutasteride can prevent further hair loss and promote regrowth in men. Dutasteride is often considered more potent than finasteride.

Realistic Timelines: It's crucial to understand that hair regrowth takes time. You typically need to use these medications consistently for 3-6 months before seeing noticeable results. Initial shedding can occur as old hairs make way for new growth, which is a normal part of the process. Continued use is necessary to maintain results.

These medications do not cure hair loss, but they can effectively manage it and promote regrowth for many individuals if the doctor finds it appropriate for your case.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride can have side effects. It's important to be aware of these and discuss any concerns with your doctor.

  • Minoxidil: Common side effects can include scalp irritation, dryness, itching, or unwanted hair growth in other areas if applied topically. Oral minoxidil may cause lightheadedness or swelling.
  • Finasteride and Dutasteride: These medications can cause sexual side effects in a small percentage of men, including decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or ejaculatory disorders. These are often reversible upon stopping the medication. Other rare side effects include breast tenderness or enlargement.

If you experience severe or persistent side effects, or if you notice any unusual changes, you should stop the medication and consult your doctor immediately. Our doctors are available through your private Hi-Doctor account chat to address any concerns.
