3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU (Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Ireland, etc.) to collect your medication.

Who qualifies for Finasteride or Dutasteride

Our EU-licensed doctors review each case individually to ensure your safety and treatment appropriateness. They look for specific criteria:

• You are an adult male experiencing male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia).
• You do not have any contraindications such as liver disease, prostate conditions, or known allergies to the medication.
• You understand the potential benefits and realistic outcomes of the treatment.
• You are not currently taking other medications that may interact negatively with Finasteride or Dutasteride.

The doctor will consider your medical history and current health status based on the information you provide in the questionnaire. This ensures that if approved, the prescription is safe and effective for you.

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

Finasteride and Dutasteride are oral medications that work by inhibiting 5-alpha-reductase, an enzyme that converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is the primary hormone responsible for male pattern baldness. By reducing DHT levels, these medications help to:

• Slow down or stop hair loss.
• Promote new hair growth, especially on the crown and at the hairline.
• Thicken existing hair strands.

Realistic timelines: You typically need to take these medications daily for at least 3 to 6 months before noticing visible results. Full effects are usually seen after 12 months. Consistency is key; if you stop treatment, hair loss will likely resume.

Limitations: These medications are most effective for male pattern baldness and will not treat other forms of hair loss. They also do not offer a guaranteed complete restoration of hair, but rather aim to preserve existing hair and stimulate some regrowth.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride and Dutasteride can have side effects, though most men tolerate them well. Common side effects, which are usually mild and temporary, can include:

• Decreased libido.
• Erectile dysfunction.
• Ejaculation disorders.
• Breast tenderness or enlargement.

These sexual side effects are rare and often reversible upon stopping the medication. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, such as allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling of the face or lips), or mood changes including depression, you should stop taking the medication and consult a doctor immediately. Always discuss any concerns with your prescribing doctor.
