Who qualifies for Finasteride

Our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to determine if Finasteride is appropriate for your hair loss treatment. Finasteride is primarily prescribed for androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness). The doctor will assess your medical history, current health status, and the pattern of your hair loss. Key considerations include:

• Your age and gender.
• Any existing medical conditions.
• Other medications you are currently taking.
• Your history of allergies.
• For women, pregnancy or breastfeeding are contraindications.

The doctor's review ensures your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment, always adhering to EU medical guidelines.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride is a 5α-reductase inhibitor. This means it works by blocking the enzyme that converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a major contributor to androgenetic alopecia, causing hair follicles to shrink and eventually stop producing hair. By reducing DHT levels in the scalp, Finasteride can slow down or stop hair loss and, in many cases, promote hair regrowth.

It's important to have realistic expectations. Finasteride:

• Does: Reduce DHT in the scalp, slow hair loss, and stimulate regrowth for many users.
• Doesn't: Cure baldness instantly. Results typically become noticeable after 3–6 months of consistent use, with full effects often seen after 12 months. It requires ongoing use to maintain benefits.

Side effects and when to stop

While Finasteride is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects. Most commonly, these are mild and localized when using topical formulations, such as scalp itching, redness, dryness, or mild irritation. Systemic side effects, though rare with topical application compared to oral Finasteride, can include:

• Decreased libido
• Erectile dysfunction
• Breast tenderness

It is crucial to inform your Hi-Doctor EU-licensed doctor if you experience any concerning or persistent side effects. They will advise you on whether to continue or stop the medication. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding MUST NOT use Finasteride.
