How can I check the hair loss service is right for me?

We’re able to support a broad range of people with their hair loss concerns. However, we always want to ensure that our medication is safe for you to take. You won’t be able to use finasteride if:

  • You are female
  • You are under 18 years of age
  • Known allergy to finasteride or any listed tablet ingredient
  • Currently taking finasteride 5 mg or any other 5α-reductase inhibitor
  • Hair loss caused by another medical condition (e.g. seborrhoeic dermatitis)
  • You have had a hair transplant
  • You are using antifungal, psoriasis or steroid preparations on your scalp
  • Severe liver disease
  • Rare hereditary disorders of galactose intolerance, total lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption
  • Obstructive uropathy

What to expect from our hair loss service

"Pop in for a private chat at your local pharmacy. We’ll check if finasteride’s right for you, explain any side effects and arrange follow-ups to track your progress. You can ask us anything."

More about hair loss

How do hair loss tablets work?

Prescription treatments like Finasteride help combat male hair loss by reducing levels of a hormone linked to hair follicle shrinkage.

How are they taken?

Simply take one tablet daily, with or without food. Most users begin noticing improvements in hair growth between three to six months of consistent use.

How can I get started?

Begin by booking an appointment online and completing a brief pre-screen questionnaire. Once that’s done, attend an appointment in-pharmacy where, if suitable, your treatment will be approved and dispensed.

When you come in for a face-to-face private consultation, you’ll spend one-to-one time with a qualified clinician in the comfort of your local pharmacy. They’ll talk you through every stage from checking if finasteride is right for you to regular follow-ups so you can ask any questions, feel at ease and move forward with confidence in your hair-restoration journey.
