Who qualifies for Finasteride

To qualify for Finasteride, an EU-licensed doctor assesses your medical history and current health status. They look for specific criteria related to male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). Generally, Finasteride is prescribed to adult men. Key factors the doctor considers include your age, the pattern and extent of hair loss, and any existing medical conditions or medications that might contraindicate its use. This comprehensive review ensures Finasteride is safe and effective for your specific situation.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a primary hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles in male pattern baldness. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride helps to slow down hair loss and, in many cases, promote new hair growth. It doesn't instantly regrow all lost hair, nor does it work for all types of hair loss. Consistent use over several months is typically required to see noticeable results, and its effects are usually maintained only as long as treatment continues.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can have side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculation disorders. Less common but more serious side effects may involve mood changes, depression, or breast tenderness/enlargement. It's crucial to discuss any concerns with your doctor. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, or any signs of an allergic reaction, you should stop taking Finasteride and seek immediate medical advice.
