Can growing transplanted hairs be susceptible and succumb to the minoxidil sheds?

fue2016nyz
Hi Docs, I’m wondering if my successfully growing FUE transplanted hairs can be susceptible and succumb to the initial minoxidil shed and minoxidil dependency? ... as I hadn’t used it at all during or since my 1 year post FUE hair transplant surgery but am considering staring it’s use to improve density but am concerned it’s effect on my transplanted hairs. Thanks.
