Who qualifies for Finasteride
Finasteride is primarily prescribed for male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). When you complete your online medical questionnaire, the EU-licensed doctor will assess several factors:
- Your medical history and current health conditions.
- Any other medications you are currently taking to avoid adverse interactions.
- The nature and extent of your hair loss or prostate symptoms.
- Your age and suitability for Finasteride treatment.
The doctor's review ensures that Finasteride is safe and appropriate for your specific situation before a prescription is issued.
What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)
Finasteride works by inhibiting an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a key hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles in male pattern baldness and contributing to prostate growth in BPH.
- For hair loss: Finasteride helps to reduce DHT levels in the scalp, which can slow down hair loss, promote new hair growth, and thicken existing hair. Results are typically seen over 3 to 6 months, and continued use is necessary to maintain benefits. It does not cure baldness but manages the condition.
- For BPH: By reducing DHT, Finasteride can shrink an enlarged prostate, improving urinary flow and reducing symptoms like frequent urination. This also takes several months to show effects.
It's important to have realistic expectations; Finasteride is not a miracle cure and individual results vary. It does not prevent other types of hair loss or treat all prostate conditions.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, Finasteride can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects can include:
- Decreased libido.
- Erectile dysfunction.
- Ejaculation disorders.
- Breast tenderness or enlargement.
More rarely, some men report mood changes, including depression. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, or if you notice any unusual changes such as lumps or pain in the breast area, you should stop taking Finasteride and consult a doctor immediately. Your Hi-Doctor account provides a private, auditable chat with your doctor for any concerns.
