Can Remicade hurt hair transplantation

January 11, 2017
Asked By:berk_ in Ankara, TR

I have reactive arthrisis and use remicade from time to time. I quit using it 7 months ago since my doctor wanted me to. I did have hair transplantation last month but now my doctor says that I might need to start remicade again. Can it hurt my hair transplantation? I heard that remicade suppresses the immune system and it's not an easy medicine.
