4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone and present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect your hair loss medication.

Who qualifies for hair loss treatment

Our EU-licensed doctors review each case individually to determine suitability for prescription hair loss treatments like Finasteride or Dutasteride. Generally, the doctor looks for:

• A clear diagnosis of androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness).
• Absence of contraindications, such as certain liver conditions, prostate issues, or pregnancy/breastfeeding (for women).
• Patients must be over 18 years old.
• No known allergies to the active ingredients.

The online medical questionnaire helps the doctor understand your medical history and current health status to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.

What hair loss treatment actually does (and doesn't do)

Prescription hair loss treatments like Finasteride and Dutasteride work by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to hair follicle miniaturization and hair loss. They help to prevent further hair loss and, in some cases, can promote regrowth of finer hairs. You can expect to see initial results, such as reduced hair shedding, within 3-6 months. Significant regrowth, if it occurs, usually takes 12 months or more of consistent use. These treatments are most effective for slowing down or stopping hair loss and are not a cure for baldness. They do not work for all types of hair loss, and results vary from person to person.

Side effects and when to stop

Common side effects of Finasteride and Dutasteride can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculatory disorders. Less common side effects may include mood changes, depression, or breast tenderness/enlargement. If you experience persistent or severe side effects, you should stop the medication and consult with a doctor. It's crucial to discuss all potential side effects and health concerns with your Hi-Doctor physician during the consultation. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not handle crushed or broken Finasteride/Dutasteride tablets due to potential risks to a male fetus.
