Who qualifies for Finasteride

Our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to ensure Finasteride is safe and effective for you. Generally, Finasteride (1mg) is prescribed for adult men experiencing male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). The doctor assesses your medical history, any existing conditions, and current medications to rule out contraindications. This ensures your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by blocking the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that causes hair follicles to shrink, leading to male pattern baldness. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride helps to slow down hair loss and, for many, can promote hair regrowth. You typically see initial results, such as reduced hair shedding, within 3 to 6 months. Significant hair regrowth can take 12 months or more. It is crucial to understand that Finasteride is a long-term treatment; if you stop taking it, hair loss will likely resume. It specifically targets male pattern baldness and is not effective for other types of hair loss.

Side effects and when to stop

While Finasteride is generally well-tolerated, like all medications, it can have side effects. Some men report sexual side effects such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or ejaculatory dysfunction. These are usually reversible upon stopping the medication. Less common side effects can include breast tenderness or enlargement. If you experience any concerning side effects, or if they persist, you should stop taking Finasteride and consult with a healthcare professional. Our doctors provide clear guidance on what to watch for.
