Who qualifies for prescription hair loss treatments

Our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to ensure prescription hair loss treatments like Finasteride or Dutasteride are safe and effective for you. Generally, these treatments are for men experiencing male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). Finasteride and Dutasteride are typically not prescribed for women, especially those who are pregnant or may become pregnant, due to potential risks. Minoxidil, however, can be used by both men and women. The doctor will assess your medical history, current medications, and the pattern of your hair loss to determine if these treatments are appropriate. They will also consider any contraindications, such as liver conditions or known allergies to the medication.

What Finasteride and Dutasteride actually do (and don't do)

Finasteride and Dutasteride are oral medications that work by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. This enzyme converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that is a key factor in androgenetic alopecia. By lowering DHT levels, these medications help to stop hair follicle miniaturization, promote hair growth, and prevent further hair loss. While they can significantly slow down hair loss and promote regrowth, they do not cure baldness or guarantee a full head of hair. Consistent daily use is crucial, and it can take 3–6 months to see initial results, with full effects often visible after 12 months or more. Minoxidil, a topical treatment, works differently by increasing blood flow to hair follicles, stimulating growth.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride and Dutasteride can have side effects. Common but rare side effects include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculatory disorders. Less common side effects can include breast tenderness or enlargement, and, in very rare cases, mood changes or depression. If you experience persistent or severe side effects, you should stop the medication and consult your doctor. For Minoxidil, common side effects are usually topical, such as scalp irritation, dryness, itching, or unwanted hair growth on other parts of the face. Your Hi-Doctor physician will discuss potential side effects with you and advise on when to seek further medical attention.
