Who qualifies for Finasteride

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case for suitability. They look for specific criteria to ensure Finasteride is safe and effective for you. Generally, Finasteride is prescribed for men experiencing male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). The doctor will consider your medical history, current health, and the pattern of your hair loss. They will ensure no contraindications exist, such as certain liver conditions or concurrent medications that might interact negatively with Finasteride.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks hair follicles and leads to male pattern baldness. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride can slow down hair loss and, in many cases, promote new hair growth. You can expect to see initial results within 3-6 months, with full effects typically visible after 12 months of consistent use. It's important to understand that Finasteride is not a cure for baldness; it manages the condition. If you stop taking the medication, hair loss will likely resume.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can have side effects, though most men tolerate it well. Common side effects can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculation disorders. Less common but more serious side effects may include breast tenderness or enlargement, and in rare cases, mood changes. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, or if you have concerns about your health, you should stop taking Finasteride and consult with a doctor immediately. Your Hi-Doctor physician is available via secure chat in your account to address any questions you may have.
