Who qualifies for Finasteride

When you complete your medical questionnaire, the EU-licensed doctor looks for specific criteria to ensure Finasteride is safe and effective for you. Generally, Finasteride is prescribed for men experiencing male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). Key considerations include your medical history, any existing health conditions, and current medications. Contraindications or conditions that might make Finasteride unsuitable will be clearly identified during the review process.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by targeting the root cause of male pattern baldness. It inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). High levels of DHT can shrink hair follicles, leading to hair thinning and eventual loss. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride helps to slow down hair loss and can, in many cases, promote new hair growth. It's important to understand that Finasteride is not an instant cure; visible results typically take several months of consistent use. It does not cure all types of hair loss, only that caused by DHT sensitivity.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can have side effects. Most commonly, some men report sexual side effects such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or reduced ejaculate volume. Less common side effects include mood changes (depression or anxiety) or breast tenderness/enlargement. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, or notice any unusual changes, you must stop taking the medication and consult your doctor immediately. Your EU-licensed doctor will discuss potential side effects and monitor your progress during your online consultation.
