Who qualifies for men's health medications like Finasteride or Sildenafil?
Our EU-licensed doctors assess each patient individually to determine if a specific treatment is appropriate. For hair loss medications like Finasteride or topical Minoxidil, the doctor looks at your medical history, pattern of hair loss, and any contraindications. For erectile dysfunction medications such as Sildenafil (Viagra) or Tadalafil (Cialis), the doctor reviews your cardiovascular health, other medications you are taking, and any underlying conditions that might make the treatment unsafe. You must be an adult EU patient.
What Finasteride for hair loss actually does (and doesn't do)
Finasteride works by blocking the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to male pattern baldness. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride can slow down hair loss and, for some men, stimulate new hair growth. It's important to understand that results are not immediate; it typically takes 3-6 months to see noticeable effects, and consistent use is necessary to maintain benefits. It doesn't cure baldness, but it can effectively manage its progression. It's most effective for mild to moderate hair loss and less so for extensive baldness.
What Sildenafil for erectile dysfunction actually does (and doesn't do)
Sildenafil (the active ingredient in Viagra) is a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis when you are sexually aroused, helping you achieve and maintain an erection firm enough for sexual activity. It does not cause an erection automatically; sexual stimulation is still required. Sildenafil typically starts working within 30-60 minutes and its effects last for about 4-5 hours. It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.
Side effects and when to stop treatment
Like all medications, Finasteride and Sildenafil can have side effects. For Finasteride, common side effects can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculatory dysfunction. Less common but serious side effects include allergic reactions or mood changes. For Sildenafil, common side effects include headache, flushing, upset stomach, nasal congestion, and dizziness. Rarely, more serious issues like sudden vision or hearing loss can occur. Always discuss any side effects with a doctor. You should stop treatment and seek urgent medical attention if you experience severe allergic reactions, chest pain, or an erection lasting longer than 4 hours.
