Oral vs Topical Hair Loss Treatments: Which Works Best?

Are you looking to get a Finasteride prescription online in the EU? Yes, you can get Finasteride from a licensed EU doctor without an in-person clinic visit. Hi-Doctor offers a convenient, private, and fast way to access treatment.

How it works — get your Finasteride prescription in 4 steps

2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private: An EU-licensed doctor individually assesses your information.
3. If appropriate, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription within 24 hours: If the doctor finds Finasteride suitable for you, your prescription is delivered to your private account and by email.
4. Pick up your medication at any EU pharmacy: Your electronic prescription is valid across the entire EU.

Who qualifies for Finasteride

Hi-Doctor's EU-licensed doctors review each case to ensure Finasteride is safe and appropriate for you. They look for specific criteria, primarily for men experiencing male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). Doctors assess your medical history, current medications, and any pre-existing conditions. Finasteride is generally not prescribed to women, especially those who are pregnant or may become pregnant, due to potential risks. Your doctor will consider your overall health to determine if Finasteride is the right treatment.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks hair follicles and leads to hair loss. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride helps to slow down hair loss and can promote new hair growth. It's important to understand that Finasteride is not a miracle cure. You will typically need to take it consistently for 3-6 months before seeing noticeable results, such as reduced shedding or some regrowth. It is most effective in preventing further hair loss and maintaining existing hair, rather than regrowing all lost hair.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can have side effects. Common side effects may include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and, rarely, mood changes or depression. If you experience persistent or severe side effects, you should stop taking Finasteride and consult with your doctor. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not handle Finasteride tablets, as the active ingredient can be absorbed through the skin and may cause birth defects. Your Hi-Doctor physician will discuss potential side effects and monitor your progress through the private chat in your account.
