Who qualifies for Finasteride
Our EU-licensed doctors review each case individually. They look for specific criteria to ensure Finasteride is safe and effective for you. Generally, Finasteride is prescribed for male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) in men. The doctor assesses your medical history, current health status, and any other medications you take. They also consider contraindications, such as liver conditions or known allergies to Finasteride. The doctor determines if the treatment is appropriate for your specific situation.
What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)
Finasteride works by blocking the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that miniaturizes hair follicles and leads to hair loss. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride helps to slow down or stop hair loss and, in some cases, promotes regrowth. You typically see initial results within 3-6 months. Full effects can take 12 months or more. Finasteride is not a cure for baldness; it manages the condition. The benefits last only as long as you continue taking the medication.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, Finasteride can have side effects. Most are mild and temporary. Common side effects can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or ejaculatory dysfunction. These usually resolve when you stop the medication. If you experience persistent or severe side effects, or if you notice any concerning changes, you should stop taking Finasteride and consult a doctor immediately. Our doctors provide clear guidance on what to watch for and when to consider discontinuing treatment.
