Looking for a Finasteride prescription online in the EU? You've come to the right place. Hi-Doctor connects you with EU-licensed doctors who can assess your suitability for Finasteride and issue a prescription if appropriate. Our online consultation costs just €45 every 90 days (cancel anytime) or €35 one-off, and you receive your electronic prescription in under 24 hours. It's valid at ANY EU pharmacy, so you can pick up your medication conveniently, whether you're in Spain, Portugal, Italy, or elsewhere.

How it works: get your Finasteride prescription in 4 steps

  1. Fill out a quick online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes).
  2. An EU-licensed doctor privately reviews your case.
  3. If the doctor finds treatment appropriate, you receive a valid electronic prescription within 24 hours.
  4. Pick up your medication at any EU pharmacy with your valid prescription.

Who qualifies for Finasteride

Finasteride is primarily prescribed for men experiencing male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). When you complete your medical questionnaire, the doctor looks for specific criteria to determine if Finasteride is suitable for you. This includes your medical history, current medications, and the pattern of your hair loss. Finasteride is generally not prescribed for women or children. Certain health conditions or medications can make Finasteride inappropriate, which the doctor will assess during your online consultation.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles and causing hair loss. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride can slow down or stop hair loss and, in many cases, promote new hair growth. Expect realistic timelines: noticeable results typically appear within 3 to 6 months of consistent use. It's important to understand that Finasteride doesn't cure baldness; it manages it. If you stop taking the medication, hair loss will likely resume.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can have side effects. Most commonly, these include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or ejaculatory disorders. In rare cases, mood changes or breast tenderness may occur. It's crucial to be aware of these potential effects. If you experience persistent or severe side effects, or any concerning symptoms, you should stop taking Finasteride and consult with a doctor immediately. Your Hi-Doctor physician will discuss these in detail during your private chat.
