Is it ok to take antibiotics before hair transplant procedure?

Asked By:anon77391 in Boon, Michigan

I have an upcoming hair transplant procedure and I was wondering is it ok for me to take antibiotics before the actual procedure. I have been prescribed antibiotics for a month for something called prostatitis, the nonbacterial form. This prescription will not affect anything will it?
