How it works — get your Dutasteride prescription in 4 steps

3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect your topical Dutasteride.

Who qualifies for Dutasteride

An EU-licensed doctor will assess your eligibility for topical Dutasteride. They look for specific criteria, including a diagnosis of androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness). The doctor reviews your medical history, current medications, and any contraindications to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment. For example, topical Dutasteride is generally not prescribed to women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, due to potential risks. If the doctor determines it's not appropriate, your consultation fee is refunded — you pay nothing.

What Dutasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Topical Dutasteride works by targeting the root cause of androgenetic alopecia: dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It inhibits both types of the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme, which converts testosterone into DHT in the scalp. By reducing DHT levels locally, topical Dutasteride helps to prevent hair follicle miniaturisation and encourages thicker, stronger hair growth. You can expect to see initial reductions in hair shedding within 1-3 months, with noticeable improvements in hair density and thickness typically appearing after 6-12 months of consistent use. It does not cure baldness, but it can effectively manage and often reverse the progression of hair loss while you continue treatment.

Side effects and when to stop

While topical Dutasteride generally has fewer systemic side effects than oral forms, some individuals may experience local reactions. Common side effects include scalp irritation, redness, dryness, or itching at the application site. Occasionally, a temporary increase in hair shedding can occur initially, which often indicates the medication is working by replacing old hairs with new ones. If you experience persistent or severe scalp irritation, or any rare systemic effects like changes in libido (though less common with topical use), you should stop using the medication and consult your doctor through the Hi-Doctor platform.
