Prescribed prednisolon 5mg after hair transplant surgery but didnt take it

Question

I was prescribed to take 4 pills prednisolon 5 mg for 7 days after hair transplant surgery but I mistakenly took 1 for 3 days now, would this affect my newly transplanted hair?,do I continoue taking 1 pill or should I take 4 now as prescribed?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Prednisone is usually prescribed to reduce swelling.  It should not affect the transplanted hairs.  If you are concerned contact your doctor.

I never use prednisolone after surgery. I am not sure why your doctor recommended it, so I would ask your doctor.
