Finasteride, often sold under the brand name Propecia® or Proscar®, is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor used to treat male pattern baldness. Finasteride blocks the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). And why would you want to block DHT? Well, DHT targets your hair follicles and is one of the main causes of baldness. Exactly how long it takes for someone to go bald is difficult to say because genetics plays a major role in this. In our blog 'Why do men go bald?', we will delve deeper into the role of DHT, genetic predisposition and male pattern baldness.

Do you need a prescription to buy Finasteride?
Finasteride is only available in the Netherlands and can be ordered via a prescription. This is because Finasteride is a registered medicine. That's why a doctor should check if Finasteride is a safe option for you.
Buying Finasteride without a prescription: good choice or not to do it?
Recently, we have seen a proliferation of web shops that sell Finasteride without a prescription. These parties buy the medication in countries where you do not need a prescription for Finasteride and then ship the medication to the Netherlands. It is difficult to say whether this is safe. This is because the medication can be counterfeited. Is it even responsible to buy Finasteride without a prescription without first checking if it's a safe option for you? We don't think so!

How can you get a prescription for Finasteride?
Because you cannot buy Finasteride without a prescription in the Netherlands, you must make an appointment physically (or online) with a healthcare provider. This process can sometimes be quite complicated in the Netherlands, but it does not have to be expensive. If you're starting to see the first signs of male baldness (such as coves or a balding crown) and want to buy Finasteride, there are a few options for getting a prescription:
Visit a doctor
If you don't have a problem with a personal physical appointment, visit your doctor. They can talk to you about your hair loss and, if safe, write a prescription for Finasteride. Please note that GPs are generally quite reluctant to prescribe Finasteride. This is because doctors in the Netherlands prefer not to prescribe medication for something that has purely to do with your appearance. As annoying as hair loss and male pattern baldness can be mentally, it's not seen as a health problem. The nice thing is that a visit to the doctor in the Netherlands is “free”.
Visit a dermatologist
A dermatologist is a doctor who specializes in skin, hair and nails, including male pattern baldness. Dermatologists have a lot of experience with specific conditions of the hair and scalp, so if the situation does not look normal, a dermatologist may be a good choice. It is important to know that a visit to the dermatologist, €175, - costs and deducts your own risk.
Finasteride 1 mg is not covered by health insurance
Once you have received a prescription from your doctor or dermatologist and you are enthusiastic about how Finasteride works, you should request a repeat prescription every so often and then pick up your medication at the pharmacy. Unfortunately, Finasteride (1 mg) for hair loss is not covered by your health insurance.
An online consultation via 3CO
Through our online questionnaire, you can find out if you suffer from male pattern baldness. If safe, we will provide the prescription for Finasteride immediately. The consultation is free and then you can buy Finasteride immediately. We work with a Dutch approved pharmacy that delivers the Finasteride discreetly to your home within 5 working days. Because we work with a subscription, you will never have to miss another day of medication.
Prevent hair loss with 3CO
The online consultation via 3CO is a quick and safe way to buy Finasteride if you prefer not to make a personal appointment. We get it: you already have enough on your to-do list without having to worry about going to the doctor and then convincing him that you're really suffering from hair loss. Trust us, we were in the same boat.
The cost of Finasteride 1 mg for hair loss
Unfortunately, Finasteride (1 mg) for hair loss is not covered by your health insurance. The costs you pay for the pharmacy with a prescription range from 288 to 536 euros per year. The exact price depends on which brand you buy Finasteride. In addition, these costs do not include any additional costs for examination by the doctor or for a visit to the dermatologist.
At 3CO, we offer an annual subscription (365 pills) including a free online consultation for €360 per year. This subscription renews automatically, so you'll never be without Finasteride for a day and no need to request repeat prescriptions. Our doctor will automatically renew your prescription, provided that, of course, your medical situation does not change.
Buy Finasteride in a safe, reliable way
Buying Finasteride can be quite complicated and cumbersome through the current Dutch healthcare system. I, the founder of 3CO and user of Finasteride, experienced this myself.
Because I started suffering from male baldness at a young age and was really struggling with it, I started looking for treatment. Through many detours, I ended up with Finasteride. I went straight to the doctor and got a referral to the dermatologist. The dermatologist found me applying and told me that male pattern baldness is just part of it. I went home defeated.
It wasn't until a year later that I discovered an expensive hair clinic via the internet that, after a physical consultation, wanted to prescribe Finasteride 1 mg for me. I paid €250 for a 15-minute consultation where they confirmed to me that I was indeed going bald (thanks, captain obvious). I was then allowed to buy the medication from a pharmacy for €600 a year.
This is why I founded Adonis2 with my brother. To enable young men to purchase Finasteride in a safe and reliable manner at a reasonable price. If you are still unsure about our reliability or service, check here for our reviews on Trustpilot.
