Who qualifies for Finasteride

Finasteride is primarily prescribed for male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). When reviewing your case, the doctor looks for specific criteria:

• You must be an adult male.
• You should have a clear diagnosis of male pattern hair loss.
• You must not have any contraindications such as liver disease, prostate conditions, or known allergies to Finasteride.
• The doctor will assess your full medical history to ensure Finasteride is safe and appropriate for you.

Our EU-licensed doctors review every case individually to ensure patient safety and treatment efficacy.

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 key hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles in male pattern baldness. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride helps to:

• Prevent further hair loss: It stops the progression of thinning hair.
• Promote hair regrowth: Many men experience regrowth of hair, particularly on the crown.

It's important to understand that Finasteride:

• Does not cure baldness: It manages the condition; benefits typically cease if you stop taking the medication.
• Requires consistent use: Results are usually seen after 3–6 months of daily use, with full effects potentially taking 12 months or more.
• Is not for female hair loss: It's specifically for male pattern baldness.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can have side effects, though most men tolerate it well. Common side effects can include:

• Decreased libido.
• Erectile dysfunction.
• Ejaculation disorders.
• Breast tenderness or enlargement.

Less common but more serious side effects include allergic reactions, depression, and, rarely, male breast cancer. You should contact a doctor immediately if you experience:

• Severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling of the face/tongue/throat, severe dizziness, trouble breathing).
• Changes in breast tissue (lumps, pain, nipple discharge).
• Persistent unexplained mood changes or depression.

Always discuss any concerns with your doctor. If side effects are persistent or severe, your doctor may advise you to stop the medication.
