About The Hairy Pill
What is The Hairy Pill®?+
The Hairy Pill® is a personalised, doctor-prescribed hair loss treatment taken as a single daily pill. It was developed by Professor Rodney Sinclair — Australia's leading hair loss dermatologist — and contains a patented combination of clinically proven ingredients.
Is it available for both men and women?+
Yes. We have separate formulas for men and women, each tailored to the different biological causes of hair loss. Our women's formula in particular addresses hormonal triggers like perimenopause and postpartum loss.
How is this different from buying Finasteride or Minoxidil separately?+
The Hairy Pill® uses a patented combination of ingredients that work synergistically — not just one active agent. Many of our patients have tried single-ingredient treatments without success before finding better results with our formula.
Who developed the formula?+
Professor Rodney Sinclair, Australia's most published researcher in hair loss dermatology. His patented formula has been prescribed to over 41,000 patients.
Treatment & Results
How long until I see results?+
Most patients experience reduced shedding within 6–8 weeks of starting treatment. Visible regrowth typically begins around months 3–4. Results improve with continued use — patients who have been on the treatment for 2+ years report the best outcomes.
What happens if I stop taking the pill?+
Hair loss will gradually return if you stop treatment, as the underlying cause of hair loss is ongoing. Most patients choose to continue long-term to maintain results.
Are there any side effects?+
The formula is well-tolerated by the vast majority of patients. As with any medication, individual reactions can vary. Your prescribing doctor reviews your full health history before issuing a prescription and is available for follow-up.
Can I take it with other medications?+
Your doctor will review any existing medications as part of your assessment. If there are any contraindications, they will advise you accordingly before prescribing.
Subscription & Delivery
How much does it cost?+
The Hairy Pill® costs $75/month — less than $2.50 a day. This includes your personalised treatment, monthly supply, free shipping, and ongoing access to your prescribing doctor.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Absolutely. There are no lock-in contracts. You can pause, skip, or cancel your subscription at any time through your account — no questions asked.
How is the treatment delivered?+
We ship Australia-wide in discreet, unmarked packaging with tracking included. Orders are typically dispatched within 2–3 business days of your prescription being issued.
What if I need to change my address or skip a month?+
All of this is manageable through your account portal. Update your address, skip a month, or pause your subscription whenever you need to.
Medical & Privacy
Do I need to visit a doctor in person?+
No. The entire process is online — your assessment, doctor review, and prescription are all handled digitally. You never need to visit a clinic.
Is my information kept private?+
Yes. Your health information is encrypted and handled in strict accordance with Australian privacy law. We never sell or share your personal data.
Is this covered by Medicare or the PBS?+
The Hairy Pill® is a private prescription service and is not currently covered by Medicare or the PBS.
