Who qualifies for Finasteride

When you complete your medical questionnaire, our EU-licensed doctors assess your eligibility for Finasteride. They look for a clear diagnosis of male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). The doctor reviews your overall health, medical history, and any existing conditions or medications that could interact with Finasteride. Contraindications typically include hypersensitivity to the active substance, and Finasteride is not indicated for use in women or children. The doctor ensures Finasteride is a safe and appropriate treatment for your specific situation. This individual review ensures your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by blocking the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a key hormone in male pattern baldness, causing hair follicles to shrink and eventually stop producing hair. By lowering DHT levels in the scalp, Finasteride helps to slow down hair loss and can, in many cases, promote hair regrowth. It's important to understand that Finasteride is not an instant solution; you typically need to take it consistently for 3 to 6 months before noticing visible improvements. Full effects may take up to a year. It maintains existing hair and encourages new growth, but it doesn't cure baldness permanently. If you stop taking Finasteride, the beneficial effects will gradually reverse, and hair loss may resume.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can cause side effects, though most men tolerate it well. Common side effects, which are usually mild and reversible, include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculation disorders. Less common side effects can include breast tenderness or enlargement, skin rash, and mood changes. It's crucial to inform your doctor if you experience any persistent or concerning side effects. If you develop severe allergic reactions, significant mood changes, or persistent sexual side effects, you should stop taking the medication and consult your doctor immediately. Your doctor will provide full guidance on potential side effects and what to do if they occur, ensuring a responsible approach to your treatment.
