How it works — get your Finasteride prescription in 4 steps

  1. Fill out the online medical questionnaire (takes 2–3 minutes).
  2. A licensed EU doctor privately reviews your case.
  3. If the doctor finds treatment appropriate, you receive a valid electronic prescription within 24 hours.
  4. Pick up your medication at any EU pharmacy, including those in the Netherlands.

Who qualifies for Finasteride

When you complete your medical questionnaire, the EU-licensed doctor assesses several factors to determine if Finasteride is suitable for you. They look for a clear diagnosis of male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). Finasteride is generally prescribed for adult men. Key considerations include your medical history, any existing conditions, and medications you currently take. It is not prescribed for women, especially those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, due to potential risks to a male fetus. The doctor ensures there are no contraindications that would make Finasteride unsafe for your health.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by targeting the root cause of male pattern baldness: dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into DHT. By reducing DHT levels in the scalp, Finasteride helps to slow down hair loss and, for many, can promote hair regrowth. It's important to understand that Finasteride is not a cure for baldness; it manages the condition. Consistent daily use is necessary to maintain its effects. You typically need to use Finasteride for at least three to six months before you see noticeable results, and full effects may take up to a year. If you stop taking the medication, hair loss will likely resume within several months.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can have side effects, though not everyone experiences them. The most commonly reported side effects include sexual dysfunction such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculation problems. These are usually reversible upon stopping the medication. Other less common side effects can include breast tenderness or enlargement. It is crucial to discuss any concerns or side effects with your doctor. If you experience severe side effects or any persistent changes, you should stop taking Finasteride and consult a healthcare professional immediately. Your doctor will provide full details on potential side effects and what to look out for.
