How it works — get your Finasteride prescription in 4 steps

4. Pick up your medication at any EU pharmacy: Your REMPE prescription is valid across all EU member states, including Austria.

Who qualifies for Finasteride

Finasteride is primarily prescribed for male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). When reviewing your case, our EU-licensed doctors look for several key factors:

• Diagnosis of male pattern baldness: Finasteride is not for other types of hair loss.
• Age: It's generally prescribed for men aged 18 and above.
• Medical history: The doctor will assess any pre-existing conditions, especially liver issues, and current medications that might interact with Finasteride.
• No contraindications: This includes certain allergies, or if you are already taking other specific medications.

The doctor must ensure that Finasteride is safe and appropriate for your individual health profile before issuing a prescription.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by inhibiting an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase, which reduces the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is the main hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles and causing male pattern baldness.

• Does: It can slow down hair loss, and in many cases, promote new hair growth. It specifically targets the hormonal cause of male pattern baldness.
• Doesn't do: It won't cure baldness instantly, nor will it work for hair loss caused by stress, nutritional deficiencies, or other medical conditions. Results are not immediate; expect to see initial improvements within 3-6 months, with full effects potentially taking 12 months or more. Consistency is key.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can have side effects, though most men tolerate it well. Common, usually mild, side effects can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculatory disorders. These are often reversible upon stopping the medication. More rarely, some men report mood changes or breast tenderness.

You should stop taking Finasteride and consult a doctor immediately if you experience:

• Severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling of the face/lips/tongue, severe dizziness, trouble breathing).
• Lumps, pain, or nipple discharge in the breast area, which could be signs of male breast cancer.
• Persistent or worsening sexual side effects.

Always discuss any concerns with your doctor. Medical honesty is paramount for your safety.
