Who qualifies for Finasteride

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully assess each patient. When considering Finasteride, they look for specific criteria:

  • Age: Generally prescribed for men aged 18 and over.
  • Type of hair loss: Finasteride is primarily for male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia).
  • Medical history: The doctor reviews your full medical history to identify any contraindications or potential drug interactions.
  • Previous Finasteride use: If you're restarting, the doctor considers why you stopped and any previous side effects.

It's crucial to be transparent in your medical questionnaire. The doctor's decision is based on a comprehensive review of your individual health profile to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride is a medication that targets the root cause of male pattern baldness. It works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is the hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles and causing hair loss.

  • Does: Reduces DHT levels, slows down hair loss, and can promote hair regrowth in some individuals. You may notice less shedding first, with visible regrowth taking several months.
  • Doesn't: Work for all types of hair loss (only androgenetic alopecia). It's not a quick fix; consistent daily use is essential for results. You won't see a full head of hair overnight, and results vary.

Realistic timelines: Many patients report reduced shedding within 3-6 months. Noticeable regrowth often takes 6-12 months of consistent use. Finasteride is most effective at preventing further hair loss.

Side effects and when to stop

Like any medication, Finasteride can have side effects. The most common ones are related to sexual function, such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and reduced ejaculate volume. These are usually mild and often resolve with continued use or after stopping the medication.

Less common but more serious side effects can include:

  • Depression or anxiety.
  • Allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling).
  • Breast tenderness or enlargement.

If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, or significant mood changes, you must stop taking Finasteride and consult with a doctor immediately. Our Hi-Doctor platform allows for private, RGPD-compliant chat with your doctor inside your account if you have concerns.
