How it works — get your Finasteride prescription in 4 steps

2. An EU-licensed doctor privately reviews your information to determine if Finasteride is appropriate for you.
3. If the doctor finds treatment suitable, you receive your REMPE electronic prescription within 24 hours, delivered directly to your private Hi-Doctor account and email.
4. Pick up your Finasteride at any EU pharmacy, including those in Malta, using your valid electronic prescription.

Who qualifies for Finasteride

When you complete your medical questionnaire, the doctor looks for specific criteria to ensure Finasteride is safe and effective for you. Finasteride is primarily prescribed for men experiencing male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). Key considerations include:

• Diagnosis: A clear diagnosis of male pattern baldness.
• Medical History: No contraindications such as liver disease, prostate conditions, or allergies to Finasteride.
• Age: Generally prescribed for adult men.
• No concurrent medications: Certain medications may interact with Finasteride.

Finasteride is not suitable for women, especially those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, due to potential risks. The doctor will assess your individual case to confirm eligibility.

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 men genetically predisposed to male pattern baldness. By reducing DHT levels in the scalp, Finasteride helps to:

• Slow down or stop further hair loss.
• Promote hair regrowth in some individuals, particularly on the crown.
• Improve hair thickness and density.

It's important to have realistic expectations. Finasteride does not cure baldness, and its effects are not immediate. You typically need to take it consistently for 3 to 6 months to see initial results, with full effects often appearing after 12 months. If you stop taking Finasteride, hair loss will likely resume.

Side effects and when to stop

While generally well-tolerated, Finasteride can cause side effects in a small percentage of men. Common, though rare, side effects may include:

• Decreased libido (sex drive).
• Erectile dysfunction.
• Ejaculation disorders.
• Breast tenderness or enlargement.

These side effects are usually reversible if you stop the medication. More serious, but extremely rare, side effects include allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling) or changes in mood, including depression. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, or any signs of an allergic reaction, stop taking Finasteride immediately and seek medical attention. Always discuss any concerns with your Hi-Doctor EU-licensed doctor.
