Who qualifies for Finasteride

When you consult with a Hi-Doctor EU-licensed doctor, they assess several factors to determine if Finasteride is suitable for you. Generally, Finasteride is prescribed for men experiencing male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). The doctor looks for a clear pattern of hair thinning or loss, typically at the crown or hairline. They consider your medical history, any existing conditions, and current medications to ensure Finasteride is safe. Contraindications may include liver conditions, prostate issues, or known hypersensitivity to the drug. The doctor always prioritises your safety and only issues a prescription if they find the treatment appropriate for your specific health profile.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by targeting the root cause of male pattern baldness: dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This medication is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, meaning it blocks the enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT. High levels of DHT can shrink hair follicles, leading to thinner, weaker hair and eventual hair loss. By reducing DHT levels in the scalp, Finasteride helps to reverse this process, allowing hair follicles to recover and produce healthier hair. You can expect to see results, such as reduced hair loss and potential regrowth, typically after 3 to 6 months of consistent use. Finasteride does not cure baldness permanently; continuous use is necessary to maintain its effects. It primarily addresses male pattern baldness and is not effective for other types of hair loss.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can have side effects. Common side effects, though generally mild, can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculatory disorders. Less common but more serious side effects may include mood changes, depression, and breast tenderness or enlargement. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, or notice any red flags like unexplained lumps or pain, you should stop taking Finasteride and consult with a doctor immediately. Your Hi-Doctor physician is available via the private in-app chat to discuss any concerns you may have about your treatment.
