How it works — get your hair loss treatment prescription in 4 steps

3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours. This is Spain's official digital private prescription standard, recognised EU-wide.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect the medication. Your REMPE prescription is valid at any pharmacy in Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Ireland, and other EU countries under cross-border prescription directive 2011/24/EU.

Who qualifies for finasteride, minoxidil, or dutasteride

When you complete your medical questionnaire, our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to ensure these hair loss treatments are safe and appropriate for you. Generally:

• Finasteride and Dutasteride are typically prescribed for men experiencing male pattern baldness. Doctors assess your medical history for conditions that might contraindicate these medications, such as liver issues or existing prostate conditions.
• Minoxidil is suitable for both men and women experiencing hair thinning or loss. Doctors check for scalp conditions, heart issues, or other medications you might be taking.

The doctor considers your overall health, current medications, and specific hair loss pattern to determine the most suitable treatment, if any.

What finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride actually do (and don't do)

• Finasteride and Dutasteride: These oral medications work by blocking dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks hair follicles, leading to hair loss. By reducing DHT, they help slow hair loss and can promote regrowth, primarily on the crown and mid-scalp. Results typically appear after 3–6 months of consistent use, with full effects seen at 12 months. They do not cure baldness but manage it.
• Minoxidil: Available topically or orally, minoxidil widens blood vessels, increasing blood flow and nutrient delivery to hair follicles. This stimulates hair growth and can thicken existing strands. It works on various types of hair loss, including female pattern hair loss. Initial shedding can occur, with new growth visible around 4–6 months.

These medications are most effective for androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) and require continuous use for sustained benefits. They do not regrow hair in areas where follicles are completely inactive for a long time.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, prescription hair loss treatments can have side effects. It's important to be aware of these and discuss any concerns with your doctor.

• Finasteride and Dutasteride: Potential side effects in men can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or ejaculation disorders. These are generally rare and often reversible upon stopping the medication.
• Minoxidil: Common side effects include scalp irritation, itching, or dryness (for topical). Oral minoxidil can cause unwanted hair growth on other body parts or, rarely, dizziness or fluid retention.

If you experience severe side effects, sudden chest pain, rapid heartbeat, or allergic reactions, stop the medication immediately and seek medical attention. Our doctors provide clear guidance on what to watch for and when to discontinue treatment.
