Prescription hair loss treatments, matched to you

Most hair loss isn't random. Pattern hair loss — the most common kind in men and women happens when follicles become sensitive to DHT and gradually shrink. Other hair loss is a shock to the growth cycle: rapid weight loss, childbirth, menopause, illness, or stress. The treatments are different, which is why one bottle of drugstore foam doesn't work for everyone. Choose the format that fits your routine below; your provider reviews your history and your pattern of hair loss, then prescribes what fits.

Treatment options

Most men do best with an option that includes finasteride, which targets DHT — the hormone behind male pattern hair loss. Oral options (Core Tab, Daily Strip) are once daily; topical sprays go directly on the scalp. Prefer to avoid finasteride? Sensitive Spray is finasteride-free.

Get Started

How Hair Loss Treatments Work

Every formulation is built from a short list of active ingredients, each doing a different job. Your provider chooses the combination based on your hair loss pattern, health history, and for women whether finasteride is an appropriate option.

Block DHT

Finasteride lowers DHT, the hormone that shrinks follicles in pattern hair loss. Oral finasteride 1 mg is FDA-approved for men; topical and low-dose forms are compounded and used off-label.

Stimulate growth

Minoxidil promotes hair growth and lengthens the growing phase. Topical minoxidil 2% and 5% are FDA-approved for men and women; the 7% and dissolvable-strip forms here are compounded.

Help it absorb, calm the scalp

Tretinoin helps minoxidil penetrate the skin. Fluocinolone helps manage inflammation or irritation. Ketoconazole helps manage flaking and dandruff-related concerns.

Support the growth cycle

Biotin (vitamin B7) supports normal hair health. Latanoprost, melatonin, and the copper peptide GHK-Cu are included for their potential effects on hair growth and are still being studied.

Losing weight on a GLP-1 — and losing hair too?

Hair loss is more common with GLP-1 medications than often mentioned. Clinical trials show 3% of adults on Wegovy® and 4-5% on Zepbound® report hair loss, compared to 1% on placebo. This is usually due to rapid weight loss causing telogen effluvium, where many hairs shed simultaneously. Shedding starts 2-4 months into weight loss and often stabilizes as weight does. For some, it reveals underlying pattern hair loss. Prescription treatments can help without stopping GLP-1. GobyMeds can tailor treatments considering both weight and hair loss.

What to expect, month by month

Month 1
Building the habit.

Daily use starts. Most people notice nothing yet, and that's expected. Some notice mild scalp irritation or dryness from topical sprays; tell your provider if it doesn't settle.

Month 2
The shed (sometimes).

Minoxidil can push resting hairs out to make room for new growth, so shedding may briefly increase. It's temporary and usually a sign the follicles are cycling. Don't stop here.

Month 3
Shedding slows.

Hair fall in the shower and brush typically eases. Fine, short new hairs may appear at the hairline or part. Take your first progress photo in the same light as your day-one photo.

Month 4
Early changes.

Many people begin to notice less scalp showing through and a fuller feel at the crown or part. Finasteride's effect on DHT has been working in the background since week one.

Month 6
Visible results for most.

This is the first fair checkpoint. Clinical studies of finasteride and minoxidil generally show measurable improvement at six months; your provider will check in and adjust if needed.

Month 12
Full assessment.

Regrowth continues to thicken through the first year. Results depend on continued use — hair loss resumes if treatment stops. Your annual follow-up is included.

Hair loss types we treat

Receding hairline or thinning crown

Male pattern hair loss. Usually DHT-driven, and the most-studied form of hair loss. Core Tab, Daily Strip, or a topical spray.

Widening part or a thinner ponytail

Female pattern hair loss affects roughly 40% of women by 50. Sensitive Spray (finasteride-free) for women of any age; additional options after menopause.

Shedding after GLP-1 or rapid weight loss

Often telogen effluvium, sometimes unmasked pattern loss. Your provider reviews both prescriptions together.

Perimenopause and menopause

More than half of postmenopausal women show pattern thinning. Falling estrogen changes the balance; finasteride-containing options become available after menopause.

Postpartum thinning that hasn't recovered

Shedding after birth is normal and usually resolves within a year. If it hasn't — and you're not pregnant or breastfeeding — treatment may be appropriate.

Stress- or illness-related shedding

Surgery, illness, major stress, or nutritional gaps can trigger a shed months later. Your provider helps sort what's temporary from what needs treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about hair loss treatment at GobyMeds.

How long does hair loss treatment take to work?

Most people see early changes in 3–6 months of consistent daily use, with continued improvement through 12 months. Treatments work by keeping follicles active, so results depend on continued use — if you stop, hair loss gradually returns to where it would have been.

Does GobyMeds treat hair loss in women?

Yes. Women of any age can be prescribed Sensitive Spray, a finasteride-free minoxidil spray. Postmenopausal women may also be offered finasteride-containing options, including oral finasteride (Core Tab), at their provider's discretion. Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning a pregnancy are not eligible for treatment.

Can Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound cause hair loss?

Hair loss was reported in clinical trials of Wegovy® (about 3% vs 1% on placebo) and Zepbound® (4–5% vs 1%), more often in women. It's generally linked to rapid weight loss rather than the drug itself, usually starts a few months in, and often improves as weight stabilizes. If it doesn't — or if it's revealing thinning that was already starting — a provider can evaluate you for treatment without stopping your GLP-1.

What are the side effects of finasteride?

In clinical studies, a small percentage of men (under 4%) reported sexual side effects such as decreased libido or erectile dysfunction, most of which resolved. Less common effects include breast tenderness, mood changes, and depression; the FDA has also issued warnings about mood-related effects, including with topical finasteride. Finasteride can cause birth defects and must not be handled by women who are or may become pregnant. Your provider will review your history before prescribing.

Is topical finasteride safer than the tablet?

Topical finasteride delivers medication to the scalp and lowers, but doesn't eliminate, the amount that reaches the rest of the body. The FDA has noted reports of the same side effects seen with oral finasteride in people using compounded topical products. Neither route is side-effect-free; your provider can help you weigh them.

Are these treatments FDA-approved?

Some are, some aren't. Finasteride 1 mg tablets are FDA-approved for male pattern hair loss in men. Topical minoxidil 2% and 5% are FDA-approved for men and women. The sprays and dissolvable strips we offer are compounded medications made by a licensed pharmacy to a provider's prescription. Compounded drug products are not approved or evaluated for safety, effectiveness, or quality by the FDA, and some ingredient uses in them are off-label.

Will my hair shed more when I start?

It can. Minoxidil may cause a brief increase in shedding around weeks 2–8 as resting hairs are pushed out ahead of new growth. It's temporary and a normal part of treatment. Contact your provider if shedding is severe or continues past three months.

Which is better, oral or topical?

It depends on you. Oral options (Core Tab, Daily Strip) are a once-daily tablet or strip and work throughout the body. Topical sprays go directly on the scalp, which some people prefer to limit systemic exposure, but they require a daily application routine. Your provider will recommend based on your history — you can note a preference, and they may adjust it.

Do I need to see a doctor or get labs?

No labs are required. You complete an online assessment, upload a photo ID, and a licensed U.S. provider reviews it. Follow-ups are included, and your provider can adjust your plan at any time.

What if I've tried Rogaine or finasteride before?

Tell us in your intake — including what you used, for how long, and any side effects. Prior treatment history helps your provider choose a different strength, route, or combination.

What hair loss don't you treat?

Scarring alopecia, alopecia areata, frontal fibrosing alopecia, and hair loss from an active scalp infection need in-person evaluation. If your intake suggests one of these, your provider will let you know and you won't be charged.

What is your cancellation and refund policy?

If you are denied a prescription by our medical provider, a 100% refund will be issued.

Once your order has been submitted to our medical partners and/or sent to the pharmacy for fulfillment, we will make every effort to field requests for adjustments or cancellations, but cannot guarantee success.

Due to regulations regarding the handling of prescription medication, we are unable to accept returned medication for refund.

In certain instances, order adjustments or cancellations may incur a $50 medical consultation fee.

Our full Cancellation, Return and Refund Policies can be found in our TOS located here.

Important safety information

Finasteride may cause decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, ejaculation problems, breast tenderness or enlargement, and mood changes including depression; rarely, these have persisted after stopping. Finasteride can cause birth defects — women who are pregnant or may become pregnant must not take, handle, or be exposed to finasteride, including topical products. Tell your provider if you have liver disease or a history of prostate cancer; finasteride can affect PSA test results. Minoxidil may cause scalp irritation, itching, dryness, temporary increased shedding, unwanted facial or body hair, and, rarely, changes in blood pressure or heart rate. Tell your provider about any heart condition. Tretinoin may cause dryness or irritation. Do not use any of these products if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning a pregnancy. Compounded drug products are not approved or evaluated for safety, effectiveness, or quality by the FDA. Prescription only; available only if a licensed provider determines it is appropriate. Not available in all states.
