If you're searching for a hair growth prescription online in Spain, or anywhere in the EU, you've come to the right place. Yes, you can get a prescription for effective hair growth treatments through a licensed EU doctor, all from the comfort of your home. Hi-Doctor provides a fast, convenient way to access the care you need. For just €45 every 90 days (cancel anytime) or €35 one-off, an EU-licensed doctor reviews your case, and if appropriate, you'll receive a downloadable prescription in under 24 hours, valid at any pharmacy across the EU. No risk — if the doctor says no, you get your money back.

How it works: get your hair growth prescription in 4 steps

  1. Fill out our quick online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the consultation fee of €45 every 90 days or €35 one-off.
  2. A licensed EU doctor privately reviews your case. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate for you, your payment is refunded automatically — you pay nothing.
  3. If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (a secure PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
  4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone and present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect your medication.

Who qualifies for hair growth medication

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually to ensure treatment is safe and effective for you. They look for specific criteria, including the type and extent of hair loss, your medical history, and any potential contraindications. For example, treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, or Dutasteride are typically considered for androgenetic alopecia (male-pattern baldness and female-pattern hair loss). The doctor will review your provided information to determine if these medications are appropriate for your specific condition.

What hair growth medication actually does (and doesn't do)

Hair growth medications typically work by either stimulating hair follicles directly (like Minoxidil) or by blocking hormones that cause hair loss, such as DHT (like Finasteride and Dutasteride). These treatments aim to slow down hair loss and promote new growth, improving hair density and thickness over time. It's important to understand that results are not instant; you typically see reduced shedding within 1-2 months, significant progress by 6 months, and maximum results between 6-12 months. Consistency is key. These medications do not cure underlying conditions like alopecia areata, but they can effectively manage common forms of hair loss.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, hair growth treatments can have side effects. Common side effects for topical Minoxidil include scalp irritation, itching, or unwanted facial hair growth. Oral Finasteride and Dutasteride can have side effects such as sexual dysfunction (decreased libido, erectile dysfunction) or, rarely, mood changes. It's crucial to discuss any concerns or adverse reactions with your doctor. If you experience severe side effects or allergic reactions, stop the medication and seek medical attention immediately. Our doctors are available through the in-app chat for any follow-up questions.
