Will taking co-codamol affect my hair transplant results?

cja123321Feb 15, 2018
Hi I am 6 days post FUT surgery and I was given painkillers by the clinic which I have had but I have been taking my own co codamol 30/500 which helps with my severe back pain I suffer from. My head does not hurt only by back which was a pre existing issue. Many clinics offer co codamol but in this stronger dose of which I have 2pills twice a day so 4 pills in total .. will it be negative to my results ??

It is best to contact your doctor about post operative care and instructions since each doctor has a different regimen.

The burn must be deep in order to kill all hair follicles in the area. If it was that deep, then it is likely that you would have needed a surgical intervention to repair the burnt area. If it healed spontaneously without significant scarring, then there still may be a chance that hair grows...

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.  If you have a severe cold, see a doctor for treatment.  It should not affect your surgery.
