How it works: get your Finasteride prescription in 4 steps

  2. An EU-licensed doctor reviews your case in private, considering your medical history and specific needs.

  4. Pick up your medication at any EU pharmacy. Your prescription is valid across the European Union.

Who qualifies for Finasteride

Our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to ensure finasteride is safe and effective for you. Generally, finasteride is prescribed for men experiencing male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). The doctor will assess your medical history, including any pre-existing conditions, current medications, and allergies. They also consider factors like your age and the pattern of your hair loss. Finasteride is not typically prescribed for women or individuals under 18 years old. Be honest and thorough in your medical questionnaire; it helps the doctor make an informed decision for your health.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by targeting the root cause of male pattern baldness: dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into DHT. By reducing DHT levels, finasteride can slow down hair loss and, in some cases, promote new hair growth. Expect to see results gradually over several months; significant improvement often takes 3 to 6 months of consistent use. Finasteride does not cure baldness, and its effects are only maintained as long as you continue taking the medication. It primarily works on the crown and mid-scalp areas, and its effectiveness can vary from person to person.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, finasteride can have side effects, though they are generally rare and mild. Common side effects can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculatory disorders. Less common but more serious side effects can include breast tenderness or enlargement, and in very rare cases, mood changes or depression. If you experience any persistent or concerning side effects, you should stop taking finasteride and consult with a doctor. Our private, RGPD-compliant chat inside your Hi-Doctor account allows you to communicate directly and discreetly with your doctor about any concerns.
