Who qualifies for Finasteride

Our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to determine if Finasteride is appropriate for you. Finasteride is primarily prescribed for androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness). Generally, you should be:

• An adult male.
• Experiencing male pattern hair loss (thinning at the crown, receding hairline).
• Free from certain medical conditions or medications that contraindicate Finasteride use.

The doctor will assess your full medical history during the online consultation to ensure Finasteride is safe and effective for your specific situation. They will also consider any potential interactions with other medications you are taking.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride is an oral medication that works by targeting the root cause of male pattern hair loss: dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It blocks the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into DHT. By lowering DHT levels in the scalp, Finasteride:

• Slows down hair loss: It helps stop further thinning and receding.
• Promotes hair regrowth: Many men experience renewed growth, especially in the crown area.
• Thickens existing hair: Hair follicles that were miniaturizing can become healthier and produce thicker strands.

Realistic timelines: You won't see results overnight. Most men need to take Finasteride consistently for 3-6 months to notice a reduction in hair loss and 6-12 months for significant regrowth. Continued use is necessary to maintain benefits. Finasteride does not cure baldness; it manages the condition. It may not work for all types of hair loss, and its effectiveness can vary between individuals.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can have side effects, though most men tolerate it well. The most commonly reported side effects, which typically affect a small percentage of users, include:

• Decreased libido.
• Erectile dysfunction.
• Ejaculatory problems.
• Breast tenderness or enlargement.

These side effects are often temporary and reversible upon stopping the medication. If you experience any concerning or persistent side effects, you should stop taking Finasteride and consult with a doctor immediately. Our Hi-Doctor platform allows for private, RGPD-compliant communication with your doctor through an auditable chat in your account.
