Who qualifies for hair loss medication
Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually to ensure treatment is safe and effective for you. They look for specific criteria, including the type and pattern of your hair loss, your medical history, and any existing conditions or medications. For treatments like oral finasteride or dutasteride, the doctor considers your age, gender, and overall health. They also check for contraindications such as pregnancy or certain liver conditions. The doctor determines if these prescription-strength medications are appropriate for your specific situation.
What hair loss medication actually does (and doesn't do)
Prescription hair loss medications primarily work by targeting the hormonal causes of male and female pattern baldness. For example, finasteride and dutasteride reduce the production of DHT, a hormone that shrinks hair follicles. Oral minoxidil improves blood flow to the scalp, stimulating hair growth. These treatments aim to slow down hair loss, promote regrowth, and increase hair density. Realistic timelines mean you should expect to see initial results within 3-6 months, with full effects often visible after 12 months of consistent use. They do not cure baldness, and results vary per individual. Consistent application or intake is key for continued benefits.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, hair loss treatments can have side effects. For finasteride and dutasteride, these can include sexual dysfunction (e.g., decreased libido, erectile dysfunction) in a small percentage of men, and rarely, mood changes. Oral minoxidil may cause increased heart rate, fluid retention, or unwanted hair growth elsewhere on the body. It is crucial to discuss any side effects with your doctor. You should stop treatment and seek medical advice immediately if you experience severe allergic reactions, chest pain, dizziness, or significant mood alterations. Your Hi-Doctor physician monitors your case and provides guidance.
