Who qualifies for hair loss medication

Our EU-licensed doctors review each case individually to ensure safe and effective treatment. They look for specific criteria, considering your medical history and the type of hair loss you're experiencing. For male pattern baldness, common treatments like finasteride or dutasteride are often considered for men with androgenetic alopecia. Minoxidil may be suitable for a wider range of patients.

Contraindications: Doctors will assess for existing medical conditions, allergies, or medications that might make certain treatments unsuitable. For example, finasteride and dutasteride are generally not prescribed to women, especially those who are pregnant or may become pregnant, due to potential risks. Your detailed medical questionnaire helps the doctor determine if these treatments are safe and appropriate for you.

What hair loss medication actually does (and doesn't do)

Common hair loss medications work through different mechanisms:

• Finasteride and Dutasteride: These oral medications reduce the production of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks hair follicles and leads to male pattern baldness. By lowering DHT, they can slow down hair loss and, in many cases, promote regrowth. They are most effective for preventing further loss and thickening existing hair, rather than creating new follicles from scratch.
• Minoxidil: Available as a topical solution or oral tablet, minoxidil works by increasing blood flow to the hair follicles, which helps to stimulate growth and prolong the growth phase of hair. It can improve hair density and thickness.

Realistic Expectations: Hair loss treatments require patience and consistency. You won't see results overnight. Typically, it takes 3-6 months to notice initial improvements, with full effects often seen after 6-12 months of continuous use. These medications manage hair loss; they do not cure it, meaning continued use is necessary to maintain benefits.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, hair loss treatments can have side effects. It's crucial to be aware of these and to discuss any concerns with your Hi-Doctor clinician.

• Finasteride: Possible side effects include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and, rarely, depression.
• Dutasteride: Similar to finasteride but potentially more potent, so side effects might be more pronounced.
• Minoxidil: Common side effects for topical forms include scalp irritation, dryness, or itching. Oral minoxidil can lead to more systemic effects like fluid retention or unwanted hair growth elsewhere on the body.

When to stop: If you experience severe or persistent side effects, or if your condition worsens, contact your doctor immediately through the private chat in your Hi-Doctor account. They will advise on whether to adjust your dosage or discontinue treatment.
