Hair loss can be a distressing experience, our pharmacy’s offer expert advice and effective treatment to help you regain your confidence.

Understanding Hair Loss
Hair loss can be caused by various factors, including:

  • Hereditary Hair Loss (Male Pattern Baldness): A common condition that affects both men and women.
  • Hormonal Changes: Hormonal imbalances, such as those associated with menopause or thyroid disorders, can contribute to hair loss.
  • Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions, like alopecia areata, can cause hair loss.
  • Medications and Treatments: Some medications and medical treatments can lead to hair loss as a side effect.

Our Hair Loss Service:

  • Personalised Consultation: Our pharmacists will assess your individual needs and recommend the most suitable treatment plan.
  • Prescription Medications: For more advanced cases of hair loss, our pharmacists can provide prescription medications like finasteride, which can help slow down hair loss and promote hair growth.
  • Lifestyle Advice: Our pharmacists can provide advice on lifestyle factors that may contribute to hair loss, such as stress, diet, and hair care practices. 

How does it work ? 

Finasteride: Finasteride is an oral medication that works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone 1 (DHT), a hormone that contributes to hair loss. 2 It’s important to note that finasteride is a prescription medication and should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
