Who qualifies for Finasteride or Minoxidil

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each patient individually to ensure treatment appropriateness. Generally, Finasteride is prescribed for male pattern baldness, while Minoxidil can be used by both men and women. The doctor will look for specific criteria, including your hair loss pattern, medical history, and any existing conditions or medications that might contraindicate the treatment. For Finasteride, typically adult males with androgenetic alopecia are candidates. For Minoxidil, suitability depends on your specific type of hair loss and overall health profile.

What Finasteride and Minoxidil actually do (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a key hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles in male pattern baldness. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride helps to slow down hair loss and can promote regrowth. Results typically become noticeable after 3-6 months of consistent use, with full effects often seen after a year. It primarily targets the crown and mid-scalp areas.

Minoxidil, available as a topical solution or foam, is a vasodilator that is believed to work by widening blood vessels and increasing blood flow to hair follicles, which can stimulate hair growth. It can also prolong the anagen (growth) phase of hair follicles. Minoxidil does not affect hormone levels. Visible results can take 2-4 months of daily use, and continued application is necessary to maintain results. It can be effective for various types of hair loss, including male and female pattern baldness.

Neither medication offers an instant cure, nor do they guarantee complete hair regrowth for everyone. They are most effective when used consistently and as directed by a doctor.

Side effects and when to stop

As with any medication, Finasteride and Minoxidil can have side effects. Our doctors will discuss these with you during your assessment.

Finasteride side effects can include sexual dysfunction (decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, ejaculation disorders), breast tenderness or enlargement, and in rare cases, depression. If you experience persistent or severe side effects, you should consult a doctor. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not handle crushed or broken Finasteride tablets due to the risk of birth defects.

Minoxidil side effects are generally localized and can include scalp irritation, itching, dryness, or unwanted facial hair growth. More rarely, systemic effects like dizziness or rapid heartbeat can occur. If you notice any concerning side effects, especially systemic ones, discontinue use and seek medical advice.

It is crucial to follow your doctor's instructions and report any red flags or adverse reactions promptly. Never self-diagnose or alter your dosage without medical guidance.
