Medication while undergoing PRP?

Question

I take Adderall every day (prescribed by doctor). Can I do PRP for hair restoration or do I have to stop my medication while undergoing treatment?

Peter N. Butler, MD, FACS · Answer

It is best to discuss your treatment plan with your provider. The largest downside of Adderall and PRP is the dehydration the medication can cause. Be sure to properly hydrate and you should be able to complete the treatment without concern.

Jacquelline Leva, DO · Answer

You can take Adderall np. You should refrain from medications like Aspirin, acetaminophen, and nonselective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that may inhibit platelet function.

Tammy Penhollow, DO · Answer

Hi. Great question. Adderall will not interfere with PRP treatments. 
NSAID (aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, meloxicsm, celicoxib) on the other hand do interfere and need to be stopped prior and held after. They inhibit platelets and decrease the potency of your treatments as well as increase risk of bleeding and bruising.
