Is it ok not to use Finasteride after a hair transplant?

September 15, 2014
Asked By:alighibriss in Beirut, 04

I am 27 days post FUE operation. I am taking Priorin vitamins for 6 months as my doctor prescribed. He also recommends to take Finasteride tablets but I read some bad side effects like sexual hormone levels. I used Minoxidil before and it didn't help at all. Can i only use the vitamin pills without anything else or is it better to use the pills?
