Who qualifies for Finasteride, Dutasteride, or Minoxidil

Our EU-licensed doctors evaluate each patient individually to ensure the chosen hair loss treatment is safe and effective. They look for specific criteria, including the type and pattern of hair loss (e.g., androgenetic alopecia), your medical history, and any existing conditions or medications that might interact. Generally, these treatments are for adult men experiencing male pattern baldness. Women typically require a different approach, though topical Minoxidil can be an option. Contraindications, such as liver conditions, prostate issues, or certain allergies, will be carefully assessed by the doctor before prescribing Finasteride, Dutasteride, or Minoxidil.

What hair loss treatments actually do (and don't do)

Hair loss treatments like Finasteride and Dutasteride work by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone largely responsible for male pattern baldness. Minoxidil, on the other hand, is thought to promote hair growth by increasing blood flow to the scalp and extending the growth phase of hair follicles. These medications aim to slow down hair loss and, in many cases, stimulate new hair growth. They do not cure baldness permanently, and results are typically seen over several months (3–6 months for initial changes, 12–18 months for maximum effect). Consistent use is key; stopping treatment usually leads to a reversal of benefits and a return to the previous hair loss pattern.

Side effects and when to stop treatment

As with all medications, Finasteride, Dutasteride, and Minoxidil can have side effects. Minoxidil may cause scalp irritation, dryness, or unwanted hair growth in other areas. Finasteride and Dutasteride can lead to sexual side effects such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or ejaculation disorders, though these are rare and often reversible upon discontinuation. Rarely, mood changes or depression have been reported. It is crucial to monitor your body and report any concerning side effects to your doctor. If severe or persistent side effects occur, your Hi-Doctor physician will advise on whether to adjust the dosage or discontinue the medication. Medical honesty is vital for your safety and well-being.
