Who qualifies for hair loss prescription medication
Our EU-licensed doctors look at several factors to determine if prescription hair loss treatments are appropriate for you. This includes your medical history, the type and extent of your hair loss, and any underlying conditions. Common conditions treated include androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness) and certain forms of telogen effluvium. Medications like finasteride or minoxidil are generally prescribed for adults. Contraindications may include pregnancy, certain liver conditions, or specific drug interactions. The doctor assesses your individual profile to ensure safety and effectiveness.
What hair loss medication actually does (and doesn't do)
Prescription hair loss medications primarily work by targeting the hormonal and physiological factors that contribute to hair thinning and loss. For example, finasteride reduces the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to male pattern baldness, which can slow down hair loss and promote regrowth. Minoxidil, a topical treatment, works by widening blood vessels and increasing blood flow to hair follicles, stimulating growth. Results are not instantaneous; patients typically observe improvements after 3–6 months of consistent use. These medications are most effective for preventing further loss and stimulating regrowth in areas where follicles are still active, but they cannot revive completely dormant follicles or guarantee a full head of hair.

Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, hair loss treatments can have side effects. For finasteride, these can include sexual side effects such as decreased libido or erectile dysfunction, though these are rare and often reversible upon stopping the medication. Minoxidil can cause scalp irritation, itching, or unwanted hair growth in other areas if not applied carefully. It's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions precisely. You should stop using the medication and consult your doctor immediately if you experience severe allergic reactions, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, or swelling of the hands/feet. Your Hi-Doctor EU-licensed doctor will discuss potential side effects and monitor your treatment via the secure in-app chat.
