How it works: get your Finasteride prescription in 4 steps

  1. Fill the online medical questionnaire: It takes just 2–3 minutes to provide us with the necessary medical information.
  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private: An EU-licensed doctor individually assesses your medical history and current condition.
  3. If appropriate, you receive a valid electronic prescription within 24 hours: If the doctor finds Finasteride suitable for you, your prescription is issued and delivered to your private account and by email.
  4. Pick up your medication at any EU pharmacy: Your electronic prescription is valid at any pharmacy across the EU, including Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, and Germany.

Who qualifies for Finasteride

Our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to determine if Finasteride is appropriate for you. Finasteride is typically prescribed for men experiencing male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). The doctor will assess your medical history, current health, and the pattern of your hair loss. Key considerations include: your age, any existing medical conditions, and medications you are currently taking. Finasteride is not suitable for women or children, and doctors will carefully review for contraindications such as liver disease or hypersensitivity to the drug's components. The doctor makes the final decision on whether treatment is appropriate for your individual case.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by targeting the root cause of male pattern baldness: dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It's a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, meaning it blocks the enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT. By reducing DHT levels in the scalp, Finasteride helps to prevent further hair loss and can even stimulate new hair growth. Expect realistic timelines: it usually takes 3–6 months to see initial results, with significant improvements often visible after 9–12 months of consistent use. Finasteride is most effective in preventing further hair loss and regrowing hair on the crown and mid-scalp, but it doesn't guarantee a full head of hair for everyone, nor does it work for all types of hair loss.

Noticing changes in your hair?

An EU-licensed doctor can privately review your case and decide whether a hair-growth treatment is appropriate for you. Online consultation for 45 € every 90 days or 35 € one-off, reply within 24 h.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can have side effects, though most men tolerate it well. Common side effects can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculatory disorders. These are usually mild and reversible upon stopping the medication. Less common but more serious side effects include allergic reactions, breast tenderness or enlargement, and mood changes. It's crucial to discuss any concerns with your doctor. If you experience persistent or severe side effects, or notice any red flags such as breast lumps or changes in mood, stop taking Finasteride and consult your doctor immediately. Medical honesty builds trust, and your well-being is paramount.
