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?
Answer: If not finasteride, you want to still use something effective If you are investing in a hair transplant procedure, it makes a lot of sense to also prevent more future hair loss so that the results of the transplant procedure look the best they can for the longest time possible. Medications like finasteride (Propecia) and minoxidil (Rogaine) are not so much to support your transplanted hairs (they are going to stick around regardless) as much as helping you keep as much of your "native" hairs as possible. The more native hairs you hang onto after your procedure(s), the better and fuller your look will stay.

Answer: Finasteride In an ideal world, yes. It maintains your current native hair and will reduce the need for further intervention. If you have been told by your hair transplant surgeon that you have a good enough donor area to address further hair loss then it may not be so much of a big deal as you can have further surgeries down the line.

Answer: Finestaride I suggest that young patients with thinning hair take Propecia to slow down hair loss. The side effect profile is generally well tolerated. However, this is a discussion you should have with your treating physician.

Answer: Finasteride after hair transplant Finasteride is definitely not required before or after a hair transplant. It is important to remember that finasteride is a very powerful tool for preventing future hair loss, so it can really help patients to get the best overall hair restoration result. Finasteride does have potential side effects, like any medication, and is a very personal choice for many patients.
