When should I start taking Finasteride after a FUE hair transplant?

Jacky001
I am 28 years old and just had a FUE transplant 5 days ago. I have been taking Finasteride for several years though I give break of one to two months after continuously taking it for several months. I haven't taken it for more than a month now. I would like to re continue. Should i start taking it now or wait for some time? My doctor asked me to go for PRP and other methods but i would like to use Finasteride as it has done good for me.
