How it works: get your Finasteride prescription in 4 steps

Who qualifies for Finasteride

Finasteride is primarily for men experiencing male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). Our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to ensure Finasteride is safe and effective for you. This includes your medical history, current health conditions, and any other medications you are taking. It is not prescribed for women or children. The doctor will assess if Finasteride is appropriate for your specific case during your online consultation.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by blocking the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to male pattern baldness by shrinking hair follicles. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride can slow down hair loss and, for some, promote hair regrowth. You will typically need to take Finasteride daily for 3-6 months before seeing noticeable results, and consistent use is necessary to maintain benefits. Finasteride does not cure baldness, nor does it work for all types of hair loss. It is most effective for androgenetic alopecia.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride can have side effects. Common side effects may include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculatory disorders. In rare cases, some men report mood changes, including depression. If you experience persistent or severe side effects, you should stop taking Finasteride and consult a doctor immediately. Our doctors will discuss potential risks and benefits with you during your online consultation.
