Who qualifies for hair loss medication
Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually to determine if prescription hair loss treatments like finasteride or dutasteride are appropriate for you. They look for specific criteria, including the type and extent of your hair loss, your medical history, and any potential contraindications. Generally, these treatments are for androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) in adults. The doctor will ensure the chosen medication is safe and suitable for your health profile.
What hair loss medication actually does (and doesn't do)
Prescription hair loss medications primarily work by targeting the underlying causes of hair thinning and loss. For example, finasteride and dutasteride work by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks hair follicles. This slows down hair loss and, for many, promotes regrowth. Topical minoxidil works by increasing blood flow to hair follicles, stimulating growth.

It's important to have realistic expectations. These medications are most effective at preventing further hair loss and regrowing hair in areas that are thinning, rather than completely restoring hair to areas that have been bald for a long time. Results are not immediate; you typically need 3–6 months of consistent use to see initial improvements, with full results often taking 9–12 months. Consistency is key, as stopping treatment usually leads to a reversal of benefits.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, prescription hair loss treatments can have side effects. Common side effects for oral finasteride and dutasteride can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and breast tenderness in a small percentage of men. Topical minoxidil can sometimes cause scalp irritation, itching, or unwanted hair growth on other parts of the face if not applied carefully.
Your doctor will discuss potential side effects during your consultation. It's crucial to report any concerning or severe side effects immediately. In some cases, the doctor may advise you to stop the medication or adjust the dosage. Hi-Doctor provides a secure, private chat within your account to communicate directly with your doctor about any concerns.
