Who qualifies for Finasteride

When you seek a Finasteride prescription online through Hi-Doctor, our EU-licensed doctors carefully assess your medical history and current health. They look for specific criteria to ensure Finasteride is safe and effective for you. This includes your age, the type and extent of your hair loss, and any pre-existing medical conditions. Finasteride is generally prescribed for men experiencing male pattern baldness. It is not suitable for women and can cause birth defects if taken during pregnancy. Your doctor will also consider any medications you are currently taking to avoid adverse interactions.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride is an oral medication that works by blocking the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a hormone that contributes to male pattern baldness by shrinking hair follicles. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride helps to slow down hair loss and can promote hair regrowth in some areas. It takes time to see results; typically, patients notice a reduction in hair loss within 3–6 months, with visible hair regrowth potentially taking 6–12 months. Finasteride is most effective for maintaining existing hair and regrowing hair on the crown of the head, but it may not be as effective for receding hairlines. It does not cure baldness, and treatment must be continuous to maintain benefits.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride has potential side effects. The most common ones include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculatory disorders. These side effects are usually reversible if you stop taking the medication. Rarely, some men may experience breast tenderness or enlargement (gynecomastia) or mood changes, including depression. It's crucial to discuss any side effects with your Hi-Doctor physician immediately. If severe or persistent side effects occur, your doctor may advise you to stop the medication, and they will help you explore alternative options.
