Who qualifies for Finasteride

Our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to determine if Finasteride is suitable for you. Generally, Finasteride is prescribed for male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). Doctors assess your medical history, current health status, and any other medications you are taking to ensure your safety. Contraindications, such as liver conditions or certain allergies, will be carefully considered. The doctor remains the gatekeeper, ensuring Finasteride is appropriate for your individual case.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride is a medication that works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. This enzyme converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks hair follicles and leads to hair loss in men. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride can slow down hair loss and, for many, promote hair regrowth. You can typically expect to see initial results within 3-6 months of consistent use, with the most significant improvements often appearing after 1-2 years. Finasteride doesn't cure baldness, but it effectively manages the progression of hair loss. It is most effective for hair loss at the crown and mid-scalp, and less so for receding hairlines.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can have side effects. Common side effects may include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or ejaculation disorders. These are usually mild and often resolve upon stopping the medication. Rarely, some men may experience breast tenderness or enlargement. It's crucial to report any concerning symptoms to your doctor. If side effects become bothersome or severe, the doctor may advise you to stop treatment. Our doctors provide clear guidance and are available for follow-up consultations within your private Hi-Doctor account.
