Searching for a Finasteride prescription online in Spain, Portugal, or anywhere in the EU? You've come to the right place. Hi-Doctor.ai connects you with EU-licensed doctors who can assess your eligibility for Finasteride. For an online consultation for €45 every 90 days (cancel anytime) or €35 one-off, you can get a valid electronic prescription issued in under 24 hours (if appropriate), valid at any EU pharmacy.

How it works: get your Finasteride prescription in 4 steps

  1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes). Provide your medical history securely through our platform.
  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. An EU-licensed doctor individually assesses your information, ensuring the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
  3. If appropriate, you receive a valid electronic prescription within 24 hours. The prescription is delivered directly to your private account and by email.
  4. Pick up your medication at any EU pharmacy. Your prescription is valid across the entire EU (e.g., Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Germany).

Who qualifies for Finasteride

Our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to ensure Finasteride is safe and effective for you. Finasteride is primarily prescribed for male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). It's generally suitable for adult men. Contraindications or reasons a doctor might not find it appropriate include, but are not limited to, a history of hypersensitivity to Finasteride, certain liver conditions, and it is strictly contraindicated for women, especially those who are pregnant or may become pregnant.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by blocking the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a key hormone contributing to hair follicle shrinkage in male pattern baldness. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride helps to slow down hair loss and, in many cases, promotes hair regrowth. It's important to understand that Finasteride is not a cure for baldness; it manages the condition. Consistent daily use is crucial, and visible results typically take 3–6 months, with full effects often seen after 12 months. It primarily targets the crown and mid-scalp areas, and its effectiveness on a receding hairline can be more variable.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride carries potential side effects, though most men tolerate it well. Common side effects can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculatory disorders. Less common effects might include breast tenderness or enlargement, and skin rash. These side effects are usually reversible upon stopping the medication. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, or any concerning changes, you should stop taking Finasteride and consult with a doctor immediately. Your Hi-Doctor.ai doctor can be reached via your private in-app chat.
