Who qualifies
To qualify for an online consultation and potential prescription through Hi-Doctor, an EU-licensed doctor will assess your individual medical profile based on the specific condition you are seeking treatment for. Hi-Doctor offers online consultations for a range of conditions, including:
- Hair Growth
- Weight Loss
- Sexual Health
- Emergency Contraception
The doctor's clinical assessment based on your medical questionnaire is paramount. They ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for your health.
What the medication actually does
Since Hi-Doctor does not offer hair transplant services, we cannot detail what a hair transplant procedure entails. However, for conditions like Hair Growth, medications such as Finasteride or Minoxidil are commonly prescribed. These work by:
- Finasteride: Blocks the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks hair follicles. This can slow hair loss and promote new hair growth.
- Minoxidil: A topical treatment that widens blood vessels and opens potassium channels, which is thought to improve blood flow to hair follicles and stimulate hair growth.
The specific medication and its mechanism of action will be explained by the doctor if a prescription is deemed appropriate for your condition.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, any prescribed treatment will have potential side effects. For example, Finasteride can cause sexual side effects in a small percentage of men, while Minoxidil can cause scalp irritation. Your Hi-Doctor physician will discuss potential side effects specific to any prescribed medication and monitor your progress through the secure patient account.
You should stop treatment or contact your doctor immediately if you experience:
- Severe allergic reactions (e.g., rash, swelling, difficulty breathing).
- Unexpected or severe adverse effects not listed as common.
- Any concerns about your health or the medication's impact.
Always follow the doctor's instructions and read the patient information leaflet provided with your medication.
