Who qualifies for Finasteride

Our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to determine if Finasteride is appropriate for you. Generally, Finasteride is prescribed for men experiencing male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). The doctor will assess your medical history, current health status, and any other medications you are taking. Contraindications include women (especially pregnant women) and individuals with known hypersensitivity to the drug. The doctor will ensure there are no underlying health issues that would make Finasteride unsafe for you.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by blocking the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles and causing male pattern baldness. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride helps to slow down hair loss and can promote hair regrowth. It doesn't work for all types of hair loss, only male pattern baldness. Realistic timelines mean you typically see a reduction in hair shedding within 3-6 months, with visible regrowth often appearing after 6-12 months of consistent use. It's not an instant solution, and continuous use is necessary to maintain results.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can have side effects, though they are generally mild and uncommon. Typical side effects may include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or ejaculation disorders. Rarely, breast tenderness or enlargement, or allergic reactions can occur. If you experience persistent or severe side effects, or any red flags such as mood changes or depression, you should stop the medication and consult your doctor. Medical honesty is key, and our doctors will discuss potential risks during your consultation.
