Who qualifies for Finasteride

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually to determine if Finasteride is appropriate for you. They look for specific criteria, including:

  • You are an adult male experiencing male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia).
  • There are no contraindications such as liver disease, prostate conditions (unless Finasteride 5mg is specifically for BPH), or known allergies to finasteride.
  • You understand the potential side effects and commitments of the treatment.

Finasteride is not suitable for women or children.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which reduces the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). High DHT levels contribute to hair follicle shrinkage in men genetically predisposed to hair loss. By lowering DHT, Finasteride can slow down hair loss and, for many, promote hair regrowth. It is crucial to have realistic expectations: Finasteride does not cure baldness, and consistent use is necessary to maintain benefits. Most patients see results within 3-6 months, with full effects often visible after 12 months. If you stop taking Finasteride, hair loss will likely resume.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can cause side effects, though they are generally uncommon and mild. The most reported side effects include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculation disorders. These are often reversible upon stopping the medication. Rarely, some men report mood changes, including depression or anxiety. If you experience persistent or concerning side effects, especially severe mood changes, contact your doctor immediately. Pregnant women should not handle crushed or broken Finasteride tablets, as it can be absorbed through the skin and harm a male fetus.
