Who qualifies for Finasteride

An EU-licensed doctor reviews every case individually. They look for specific criteria to ensure Finasteride is safe and appropriate for you. Generally, Finasteride is prescribed for male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). The doctor will assess your medical history, current health conditions, and any other medications you are taking to identify contraindications. This ensures 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 primary hormone responsible for male pattern baldness, causing hair follicles to shrink and eventually stop producing hair. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride helps to slow down hair loss and can promote regrowth of finer hairs over time. It does not cure baldness, and its effects are maintained only with continuous use. Realistic timelines for results typically involve:

• 1-3 Months: You might notice reduced hair shedding.
• 3-6 Months: Initial signs of new hair growth may appear, often as finer hairs.
• 6-12 Months: Significant improvements in hair thickness and coverage become more noticeable.
• 12+ Months: Continued use is essential to maintain results. Stopping treatment usually leads to reversal of benefits within 9-12 months.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can have side effects. Common ones can include sexual side effects such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or ejaculation disorders. These are often reversible upon stopping the medication. Less common side effects may include breast tenderness or enlargement, skin rash, or mild mood changes. If you experience persistent or severe side effects, you should stop taking Finasteride and consult with a doctor immediately. The EU-licensed doctors at Hi-Doctor are available through auditable chat for any concerns you may have during your treatment.
